Wisconsin’s extends it’s diesel truck idling reduction program application deadline.

The Wisconsin Department of Commerce has extended the deadline for it’s idling reduction program until December 1st 2008.

The slowdown in the economy, high fuel prices, and a high initial cost of idling reduction units may be the reasons that the grant money has not been utilized as early as in years past. While the program does reimburse companies and owner-operators from Wisconsin up to 50% of the cost of idling reduction units and idling alternatives, the owner operator or company must pay for the units up front and report on their idling habits before checks are sent.
