**4) Highlights/Accomplishments since last call (bullet format). This
section is intended to describe the direction of the coalition.**

WI Clean Diesel Coalition has met six times since inception in August
2007. The general work plan includes performing educational outreach (to
fleet operators, policy leaders) and development of financial incentives
to assist fleets in reducing emissions.

\- Education has started with the creation of our website (temporarily
hosted by the Office of Energy Independence), formation of an On-Road
and an Off-Road Committee with fleet interaction, initiation of
partnerships with local colleges with diesel programs and discussion of
workshops.
<http://power.wisconsin.gov/section_detail.asp?linkcatid=2407&linkid=1124&locid=131&sname=Biofuels>

\- Financial opportunities are being developed through the DERA funds
and some WCDC members are working with legislators to create tax
incentives for cleaner truck purchases.

**5) List of participants in the coalitions (can be organizations and/or
individuals)**

Representatives from various government agencies that work on diesel
programs, fleet associations, engine and emission solution
manufacturers, and some fleets, including: DNR, DOT, Dept of Commerce,
Office of Energy Independence, EPA, WI Clean Cities, Dane County Clean
Air Coalition, ALA of WI, Energy Law WI, WI Motor Carriers Assoc.,
OOIDA, WI Engine Manufacturers, WI School Bus Assoc., Kobussen School
Buses, WI Transportation Builders Assoc., Miller Bradford & Risberg
Inc., WI Urban & Rural Transit Assoc., WI Chapter of American Public
Works Assoc., WI Railroad Committee, Assoc. of Equipment Manufacturers,
Associated Builders and Contractors of WI, WI Biodiesel Assoc., Kenosha
Transit, Milwaukee County Transit, We Energies, Madison Gas & Electric,
Cummins NPower, Caterpillar, Inland Detroit Diesel Allison,
International, Engine Control Systems, CNH Case New Holland, and Thermo

The workgroup divided into two committees (On-Road and Off-Road) which
consists of more fleet representatives (vs. associations) to work on the
specific strategies that the group decides upon. The Committee co-chairs
(highlighted in red above) then report back to the full WCDC.
