Financing Details

Type of Financing
The financing offered is primarily in the form of grants, which reimburse the additional costs incurred when using low carbon transportation materials. This means you can apply for funding to cover expenses that are higher than traditional materials used in construction projects.

Repayment Terms
Since these are grants, there are no repayment requirements. The funding acts as a reimbursement for the qualifying materials you use, meaning you don't have to pay it back later. This makes it an attractive option if you are looking to implement environmentally friendly practices without the burden of loans or debt.

Eligible Expenses
You can use the funds specifically for the costs of low carbon construction materials, such as concrete, glass, asphalt mix, and steel, that meet EPA's environmental standards. Additionally, reimbursement can include expenses for identifying and determining the appropriateness of these materials for your projects.

Restrictions on Fund Use
The funds cannot be used for non-related project costs, or for materials that do not meet the low carbon thresholds set by the EPA. Always ensure your projects align with the program's goals to avoid any issues.

Associated Fees
There are no fees associated with applying for or receiving these funds. This means that you can focus on your project without worrying about hidden costs or additional financial obligations.
