Heavy-Duty Truck Projects

Available Funding

• Good Movement Program - The Proposition 1B: Goods Movement Emission Reduction Program (Program) is a partnership between the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and local agencies (like air districts and seaports) to quickly reduce air pollution emissions and health risk from freight movement along California trade corridors. Projects funded under this Program must achieve early or extra emission reductions not otherwise required by law or regulation. As a part of this Program the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (District) is soliciting projects that will reduce emissions from heavy duty diesel trucks operating in California’s trade corridors.
• Voucher Incentive Program - The District is currently accepting applications for the Voucher Incentive Program (VIP) for on-road heavy-duty vehicles, and will start accepting applications for other types of on-road Carl Moyer Program projects on August 8, 2011. The purpose of the program is to provide funding to replace or retrofit heavy-duty diesel engines with lower-polluting engines and equipment. Eligible projects could receive up to $45,000 towards the purchase of a new vehicle or up to $10,000 for the purchase and installation of a retrofit device. The Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program (Carl Moyer Program) is a state funded program that offers grants to owners of heavy-duty vehicles and equipment in order to reduce air pollution emissions from heavy-duty engines.
• Truck Retrofits – Carl Moyer Program grants are available for fleets of 10 or fewer vehicles to help vehicle owners install particle traps on existing engine model years 1994-2006. Devices must be CARB verified, and of the highest level technically feasible technology verified for the engine.

Heavy Duty Regulatory Information

CARB develops statewide regulation to reduce the emission of smog-forming pollutants and toxics by mobile sources. These include both on and off-road sources such as passenger cars, motorcycles, trucks, busses, heavy duty construction equipment, recreational vehicles, marine vessels, lawn and garden equipment, and small utility engines. Please visit CARB Mobile Sources Program Portal for additional regulation information.
