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.
For a general overview of the Carl Moyer Program, refer to the program fact sheets. For specific details on the Carl Moyer Program refer to the ARB Carl Moyer program Guidelines. The Air District will be soliciting projects for the current Moyer funding cycle according to the schedule found in Table 1.

Provided the project is not required by law, off-road diesel and large spark motive engines with 25 horsepower or more are eligible to apply. These engines are found in a variety of off-road applications such as construction, mobile agriculture, airport ground support, cargo handling and other industrial settings.
