Application Process
Trucking firms/owner-operators wishing to participate in the Manitoba GrEEEn Trucking Program (the "Program") must complete the following application form and return the completed form to the University of Manitoba Transport Institute (“UMTI”) via mail or fax. In addition to the application form copies of the following items will need to be submitted:
- valid Manitoba driver's licence (owner-operators only)
- valid vehicle registration (candidate units)
- proof of vehicle ownership (owner-operators only)
UMTI will notify applicants via e-mail, within 30 days after the submission of applications if they have been selected for the Program. Applicants will be required to submit a completed Request for Payment form (available online) along with copies of the following documentation to UMTI:
- invoices/receipts for the equipment purchased
- certification that the equipment has been installed
As part of the request for payment process, applicants will need to provide information on fuel consumption, distance travelled and other items for each tractor unit for the year prior to program entry (form available online). This and other subsequent data reporting requirements will be submitted to the Centre for Sustainable Transportation (CST).
Applications will be accepted until December 15, 2009 with Request for Payment information to be submitted no later than January 30, 2010. Because the GrEEEn Trucking Program is a limited program, funding may be insufficient to meet demand. Rebates will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis. If qualified applicants were not selected during the spring application period, they may be given priority preference during the fall 2009 application period.
