Summary

The Secretary must, within 60 days after grants are awarded, send Congress a report that names the grant recipients, summarizes the projects funded, lists other applicants who applied, and explains how the Secretary shared information and lessons learned among pilot participants and with other interested parties. No later than 3 years after August 8, 2005 (by August 8, 2008), and every year after that until the pilot ends, the Secretary must send Congress a report that evaluates the pilot’s effectiveness. That report must describe the environmental benefits from the pilot projects and estimate the possible environmental gains if alternative-fueled vehicles and ultra-low sulfur diesel vehicles were widely used.
