  11. CMAQ Private Fleet Program • CMAQ funded in cooperation with NYSERDA • Cost share incremental cost • Funded Manhattan Beer project 30 CNG beverage delivery trucks 2001/02/04 • Recent awards to Federal Express for hybrid trucks and to the Bronx for hybrid electric shuttle buses. • Requested $16 million for next 4 years of funding.

  12. CMAQ Private Fleet – Fed Ex • 10 Fed EX Hybrid Delivery Trucks placed into service 10/04 • Vehicles reduce PM by 93%, NOx by 54%, CO2 by 31% and improve fuel economy by 44%. • Funding for additional vehicles has been requested.

  13. CMAQ Private Fleet -Manhattan Beer 30 Natural Gas delivery trucks funded under the Private Fleet Program. The Truck uses John Deere dedicated CNG engines.

  14. Electric Delivery Truck • Not private fleet as USPS doesn’t qualify • 30 Trucks in service with USPS in Man. And Bx. • designed for urban driving • speed = 40mph • range = 40 miles

  15. Natural Gas Taxi Program • CMAQ funded program covers 80% of the incremental cost of vehicle. Began in late 90’s with 300 taxis. • Now less then 100 taxi’s • Barriers include, CNG station access, loss of portion of trunk and loss of Ford product • Program currently in redesign.

  16. Clean Ferry Initiatives- Private Ferry Fleet • Partnership with NYSERDA, USEPA, FTA to develop options for reducing emissions on existing boats and offering to subsidize installation on the private ferry system. • CMAQ study funds and FTA implementation funds. • Potential for reducing several hundred tons of NOx annually.

  17. Clean Ferry Initiatives- Staten Island Ferry • Due to minimal Federal Emissions standards for marine engines. Staten Island Ferry systems emits hundreds of tons of NOx per year. • Developed a partnership with PANYNJ to install stack emission control system (SCR) on one ferry with expansion to all seven if successful. Program will provide NOx offsets for harbor dredging program for the Port Authority. First boat due 12/05.

  18. CMAQ wish list • Low Hanging Fruit not currently fundable under CMAQ • Off Road Engine Clean Up • Marine Engine programs • Onroad emissions reduction programs increasingly less cost effective. • Is there any way to support the more cost effective strategies??????
