    Approximately $2.3 million in grant funds from the Diesel Emission Reduction Grant (DERG) program have been awarded to the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (GCRTA) by the Ohio Department of Transportation and Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.

Caver. "I am extremely proud of our team on their successful grant application to the DERG program."
