N.J. Clean Construction 2 Program

Diesel-powered engines are responsible for a significant amount of the particulate pollution in New Jersey, which can disproportionately affect people in densely populated urban centers. Non-road diesel vehicles, such as construction vehicles, contribute more than twice as much diesel particulate matter to the air than all other diesel vehicles. Reducing this type of pollution will have an immediate, positive effect on air quality within the State. In order to help accomplish this goal, the N.J.
