About
Clean diesel program: recruited local businesses to participate in federal and state grant applications that resulted in over 1,000,000 in government funding and private contributions dedicated to purchase equipment for reducing diesel pollution from trucks and other vehicles in Southwest Detroit. Their efforts are removing over 6 tons annually of harmful diesel emissions from the air. SDEV also took a lead role in advocating a city of Detroit anti-idling ordinance which was approved by the city council. It has participated in developing educational materials regarding the ordinance which is distributed to owners of trucking fleets.
