Diesel Retrofit Program
In 2004, EPA awarded the EPC $200,000 to
install oxidation catalysts on approximately 150 school buses. These
catalysts will reduce children’s’ exposure to diesel exhaust emissions.
EPC and the School District of Hillsborough County have joined forces to
establish the Hillsborough County Diesel Retrofit Program. It is the
only one of its kind in the entire State of Florida.
