Total Evaluation Points for NOx emission Priority Area
Air Quality Priority Area (0-10 points)
Complete the Bus Evaluation Form and attach a map of the bus route, including the fleet yard, and the Bus ID; one Bus Evaluation Form must be submitted for each
bus. For electronic applications, complete one excel worksheet per bus; paper applicants print as many copies of this form as necessary. As described in Table 2 of
the Alaska BMP, each bus repower/replacement will be awarded points based on the criteria outlined below, with a total of 100 points possible. AEA will determine
the points to be awarded for cost effectiveness based on the EPA DEQ output of all transit bus applications submitted. The maps referenced below can be found in
Appendix A and Appendix B of the Beneficiary Mitigation Plan (BMP) and the GIS shape files used to generate the maps can be downloaded from AEA's website at
http://www.akenergyauthority.org/Programs/vwsettlement.
NOx Emission Priority Area (0-20 points)
Identify non-attainment or maintenance areas within the bus route including the fleet yard. If desired, provide additional comments or information regarding air
quality plans or goals applicable to the bus usage area; local air quality concerns, or sources of local PM emissions within the bus usage area (e.g., railyard, port,
airport, transit bus depot, taxi depot).
If desired, provide additional comments or information regarding the local on-road NOx emissions within the bus usage area.
Each application will be scored based on the relative on-road diesel NOx emissions where the bus being repowered or replaced is operated compared to statewide
on-road NOx emissions in terms of total annual tons of on-road diesel NOx emissions. Please refer to Figure A-1 of the BMP to determine the NOx emissions rank
of the area where the bus is operated. If the repowered/replacement bus will operate in multiple areas with different rankings, please provide an estimate of the
percentage of the route or usage in each category. (e.g., railyard, port, airport, transit bus depot, taxi depot).
Bus repower/replacement projects located in non-attainment or maintenance areas or within areas receiving a disproportionate amount of diesel particulate matter
(DPM) emissions will be prioritized. Please refer to Figures A-2 through A-10 of the BMP to determine the air quality rank of the area where the bus is operated. If
the repowered/replacement bus will operate in multiple areas with different rankings, please provide an estimate of the percentage of the route or usage in each
category.

Located in area with most effect of traffic proximity and volume on at-risk population (95th to 100th percentile)10
Total Project Points for EJI - at-risk populations and traffic proximity and volume
Each application will be scored based on traffic proximity and volume to at-risk populations where the bus being repowered or replaced is operated. Please refer to
Figures B-2 through B-2d of the BMP, which were developed using the EPA's Environmental Justice Screening and Mapping Tool (http://www.epa.gov/ejscreen).
Using the maps, indicate the Environmental Justice Index rank (percentile) for the area where the bus is operated. If the replacement bus will operate in multiple
areas with different rankings, please provide an estimate of the percentage of the route or usage in each category.
If desired, provide additional comments or information regarding DPM and the population that will benefit from the project. At-risk populations include, but are not
limited to, people with heart and/or lung disease, asthmatics, children or the elderly, minority and/or low income populations.

populations include, but are not limited to, people with heart and/or lung disease, asthmatics, children or the elderly, minority and/or low income populations.
Each application will be scored based on the diesel particulate matter (DPM) concentrations and exposure of DPM to at-risk populations where the bus being
repowered or replaced is operated. Please refer to Figures B-1 through B-1d of the BMP, which were developed using the EPA's Environmental Justice Screening
and Mapping Tool (http://www.epa.gov/ejscreen). Using the maps, indicate the Environmental Justice Index rank (percentile) for the area where the bus is
operated. If the replacement bus will operate in multiple areas with different rankings, please provide an estimate of the percentage of the route or usage in each
category.

Criteria - Voluntary Cost Share Ranking Points Amount
Total project cost (from Bus Data Form)$
Amount of mandatory matching funds $
Percentage of mandatory matching funds %
Amount of voluntary matching funds $
Percentage of voluntary matching funds %
Total funding request $
Total Project Points for voluntary funding match
Criteria - Cost Effectiveness in Lifetime NOx Reduction Ranking Points Amount

Cost Effectiveness Rank (determined by AEA)rank
Total Project Points for cost effectiveness in lifetime reduction of NOx (determined by AEA)
Additional comments or information relevant to the project's cost effectiveness.
Total Project Points (determined by AEA)
Applicants that provide voluntary matching dollars will score additional points. For every 1% of voluntary matching funds, over the mandatory 80% match, will be
awarded 0.5 up to a maximum of 20 points.
Provide information on the type of funds being applied as voluntary match, including certainty on securing the funds, restrictions on use of the funds and time
constraints on securing or spending the matching funds.
Cost Effectiveness in Lifetime Reduction of NOx (10-30 points)
Cost effectiveness is based on the lifetime reduction of NOx emissions ($/short ton NOx reduction) as determined by the EPA DEQ tool. Each bus will be scored by
AEA based on the relative cost effectiveness of the project compared to the other bus application submittals. Projects that reduce the most lifetime short tons of
NOx and particulate matter (PM) emissions for the least cost (90th to 100th percentile), will be given the highest score of 30 points. The least cost effective projects
(<40th percentile) will receive 10 points. Mid-range projects will be scored as follows: 40th to 60th percentile will receive 15 points; 60th to 80th percentile will
receive 20 points; 80th to 90th percentile will receive 25 points.
