## Indiana’s Advanced Truck StopElectrification Project

**First Advanced Truck stop Electrification project (ATE) in the Midwest**
**Location, location, location...**
**Located in residential area**
**Directly off of I-80/94 and adjacent to another travel center**
**PM 2.5 monitor located only 2 blocks away typically measures highest concentrations in the state**
**Reductions associated with the installation of 63 IdleAire units:**
**Assumptions: 63 ATE units are used 14.4 hours per day (60%), 365 days per year**
**10 metric tons of carbon monoxide (CO)**
**2,181 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2)**
**43 metric tons of nitrogen oxides (NOx)**
**1.25 metric tons of particulate matter (PM)**
**2.5 metric tons of volatile organic compounds (VOC)**
**Additionally the ATE technology will conserve a minimum of 331,100 gallons of fuel annually**
**Operational by Fall of 2004**

## Services Offered with IdleAire Technology

-   Telephone
-   TV and video rental
-   Internet service
-   Possibly more...

-   Thermostatically controlled heating and cooling
-   110 volt electrical outlets

## Any Hurdles? 

**Not many...**
**Funding**
**Nationwide contracts**
**Building permits**
**Community approval**

## The Creation of a Diesel Emissions Workgroup

**Stemmed from IDEM’s “Partnering for Livable Environments” priority**
**Public Forum Including:**
**Trucking and petroleum industry**
**Local business interests**
**Local, regional, state, and federal governments**
**Community and environmental interest groups**
**Concerned citizens**
**Northwest Indiana Diesel Emissions Workgroup was created out of this forum**

## Why Northwest Indiana?

**Indiana Designated Nonattainment Counties **
**for **
**Fine Particles (EPA proposed)**
**and Ozone (EPA designated)**

**Why Northwest Indiana?**

## Northwest Indiana Diesel Emissions Workgroup

**IDEM originally facilitated workgroup structure and meetings**
**Current membership includes**
**Local business interests**
**Local, regional, state, and federal government agencies**
**Community and environmental interest groups**
**Concerned citizens**
**Meetings quarterly or as needed based for on-going projects**
**Workgroup is now community based and managed, as intended**

## Why is a Workgroup Important?

**Membership can lead to Ownership**
**Owners may include financial interests**
**Local business and industry**
**US EPA**
**RPO and/or State CMAQ panel members**
**Collaborative efforts can lead to collaborative financing**

## Collaborative Financing

**Total contracted cost of project:****	****	****$500,000**
**	****Federal funds:**
**	****	****CMAQ ----------------------------------****	****$225,000**
**	****	****US EPA Grant ------------------------****	****$125,000**
**	****	****Indiana DOC --------------------------****	****$  10,000**
**	****Private funds:**
**	****	****IdleAire Corporation ----------------****	****$125,000**
**	****	****Local Petroleum Industry ----------****	****$  10,000**
**	****	****Local Electric Power Industry ----****	****$    5,000**

## Where does CMAQ Fit In?

**CMAQ is the primary funding mechanism for the project construction**
**CMAQ funding can be used for the administration of projects at local level**
**Regional Planning Organizations participation in the Diesel Workgroup leads to CMAQ funding opportunities**

## Summary

**ATE reductions can benefit both the environment and the quality of life in surrounding communities**
**ATE facilities can lower dependence on foreign oil**
**CMAQ funding can serve as an anchor to financing ATE projects**
**CMAQ funding is more easily obtained when CMAQ committee members become a part of the solution**
