Environmental Initiative’s work to reduce emissions and improve air quality through Project Green Fleet benefits all Minnesotans. To date, Project Green Fleet has made the following impacts:

• Pollution control equipment installed on over 3,000 school buses
• Over 400 heavy-duty vehicles retrofitted with pollution control and idle reduction equipment
• Reduced around 23.5 tons of particulate matter (PM) annually, the equivalent of removing 350,000 cars from the road each year
• Saved over $1 million per year in estimated health care costs by reducing exposure to pollutants found in diesel exhaust
• Reduced soot and smog in the air, which if left unchecked could cost Minnesota businesses $270 million per year
• Implemented educational programs about air quality and the benefits of emission and idle reduction efforts
