The Biodiesel School Bus Fuel Incentive Purchase Program pays rebates to Dane County school districts and private companies purchasing biodiesel fuel for their school bus fleets.

The Car-Lite Diet challenges employees and households to reduce their vehicle emissions. A website allows players to compete with themselves individually or in groups as they register and record their emission reductions.

On Clean Air Action Days, Dane County Clean Air Coalition asks government agencies, businesses, community organizations and citizens to cut down or stop activities that produce ozone.

For the Clean School Bus Initiative, DCCAC and the Madison Metropolitan School District secured a $291,470 grant to purchase and install diesel oxidation catalysts in 253 school buses.

During the Gas Can Exchange Program local residents exchanged their old gas can for 3600 environmentally-friendly gas cans. The new gas can reduces the amount of ozone-causing vapors by up to 75%.

Due to the Gas Station Vent-Cap Installation Program for the first time in Madison a significant number of gas stations now have environmentally-friendly caps to hold in harmful gas vapors.

The Green Gas Station Initiative will install pressure vent valves at 100 gas stations in Dane County and two vapor recovery systems (one in Dane County and one in Milwaukee County).

The Non-Road Clean Diesel Demonstration Project targets emissions from non-road diesel-powered equipment. DCCAC and DNR secured a $100,000 grant to purchase and install diesel oxidation catalyst mufflers on bulldozers, scrapers, end loaders, graders and other equipment.

The Healthy Air Initiative provides manufacturers with practical engineering help to reduce emissions from operations voluntarily. For commuters, the Initiative sponsors the Car-Lite

Diet program.
