At its May 5, 2006 meeting, the Board issued a Program Announcement that included making available $5,449,000 in state funds to retrofit diesel school buses. On October 6, the Board awarded 452 PM traps to public schools and private operators. Since then additional state funds have become available for PM trap retrofits, along with interest money and excess unused funds from previous PM trap awards. This action is to re-issue the retrofit part of the PA seeking additional applications for PM traps from public school districts and private operators, with the condition that all awarded PM traps must be retrofitted by June 2008.
