Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program
Up to $20 million in Carl Moyer Year 11 funding available. Applications currently being accepted!
Projects will be selected for funding on a first-come, first-served basis based on the date the application is deemed complete by Bay Area Air Quality Management District (Air District) staff. Applications will be accepted until all funds have been allocated.
The Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program (Carl Moyer Program) is a voluntary program that offers grants to owners of heavy-duty vehicles and equipment. The program is a partnership between the California Air Resources Board (ARB) and the local air districts throughout the state. Locally, the Air District administers the Carl Moyer program. The purpose of the program is to reduce air pollution emissions from heavy-duty engines. Grants are available for projects that:
- install particulate traps,
- replace older heavy-duty engines with newer and cleaner engines and add a particulate trap,
- purchase new vehicles or equipment that is cleaner than the law requires,
- replace heavy-duty equipment with electric equipment, and
- install electric idling-reduction equipment.
Grants cannot be used for projects that are required by law or by a contract or agreement; however, they can be applied to projects that comply at least three years in advance of state regulations. All vehicles and equipment funded with a grant must operate within the Air District’s boundaries.
The Air District is accepting applications for projects throughout its jurisdiction, but will prioritize projects that reduce emissions in impacted communities. Highest priority will be given tothe following six highly impacted communities:
- Concord
- Richmond/San Pablo
- Western Alameda County
- San Jose
- Redwood City/East Palo Alto
- Eastern San Francisco
A map of the impacted communities can be found below under the documents section. The following counties are part of the Air District's jurisdiction: Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Mateo, San Francisco, Santa Clara, and Napa counties. The southern portions of Solano and Sonoma counties are also part of the Air District.
