The Southeastern Team Reducing the Impacts of Diesel Emissions (STRIDE) Collaborative is part of EPA’s National Clean Diesel Campaign, a program combining regulatory measures with voluntary initiatives to reduce the pollution emitted from diesel engines across the country. It invites leaders from industry, academia, non-governmental organizations, interested citizens, and government at all levels working across Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina,  Tennessee, and the 6 Tribal Nations in EPA Region 4 to participate, learn more, and implement projects to reduce diesel emissions.  The collaborative was formed in April of 2006 and was originally called the Southeast Diesel Collaborative (SEDC).

Our goal is to improve air quality and public health by encouraging the use of clean, renewable energy and by reducing diesel emissions from existing engines and equipment from all types of diesel engines.
