[null,null,"RFI 2017036C, Volkswagen Mitigation Trust Fund Potential Mitigation Actions - School, Shuttle, and Transit Buses"]
[]
[null,null,"Background"]
[null,null,"On October 25, 2016, the United States entered into a Partial Consent Decree that partially resolves claims that Volkswagen (VW) violated the Clean Air "]
[null,null,"Act by selling more than 500,000 vehicles containing 2.0-liter diesel engines equipped with “defeat devices.” These defeat devices the vehicles to meet "]
[null,null,"emission limits during emissions tests while not meeting these limits during normal vehicle operation.\n\n"]
[]
[null,null,"As part of the Partial Consent Decree, VW will provide $2.7 billion to establish a Mitigation Trust Fund which is intended to fully mitigate the excess "]
[null,null,"nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from the 2.0-liter diesel vehicles. Florida’s share of these funds is currently estimated to be approximately $152 million.\n\n"]
[]
[null,null,"In order for Florida to receive these funds, the state must first become a Beneficiary and then submit a Beneficiary Mitigation Plan to the designated "]
[null,null,"Trustee. Through this Request for Additional Information (RFI), the Department is requesting information to assist in determining the range and types of "]
[null,null,"diesel emission reduction and mitigation projects that potentially exist in the state to help inform Florida’s draft Beneficiary Mitigation Plan. This RFI is "]
[null,null,"also intended to identify Interested Entities that may be interested in participating in potential mitigation projects in the future.\n\n\n"]
