The Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) is an environmental program administered by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It focuses on reducing emissions from diesel engines, which contribute to air pollution and pose health risks. Drive Clean Indiana has assisted others to apply for this program, educating them on program incentives.
The DERA program aims to improve air quality, especially in areas with high levels of diesel vehicle traffic, by reducing harmful emissions of particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and other pollutants.
