Texas Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) Initiative Grants
To encourage fleets to increase the number of heavy-duty Natural Gas Vehicles, the Land Office has a Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) Initiative Grant Program available in certain Texas counties . The program is funded with a Texas Emissions Reduction Plan grant through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TXEQ) . A variety of vehicles - including street sweepers, forklifts, buses, and garbage trucks - are eligible for grants to help cover the cost of replacing diesel vehicles with NGVs. The Land Office offers preference for these grants to state and local public sector fleets . Private fleets also may be eligible , especially those that operate directly under contract for government work or do other government business. Additional information on eligibility is available in the NGV Initiative Grant Program guidelines.
