The Air District will accept applications for the Carl Moyer Program (CMP) Year 21 application cycle beginning June 17, 2019.
More than $50 million is available for projects to upgrade or replace on-road vehicles, school buses, off-road and agricultural equipment, marine equipment and locomotives.
The Air District is offering grants to reduce toxic air emissions and ozone-forming pollutants from older diesel engines through the Community Health Protection Grant Program. The Air District is also administering more than $8 million in annual Carl Moyer Program funding available for projects throughout the Bay Area. Applications are accepted and evaluated on a first-come, first-served basis until funds run out.
Priority is given to projects that reduce emissions in the following impacted communities – AB 617 communities and communities for future AB 617 consideration.
- West Oakland
- Richmond-San Pablo
- East Oakland/ San Leandro
- Eastern San Francisco
- Pittsburg-Bay Point area
- San Jose
- Tri-Valley area
- Vallejo
Air District staff will determine whether applications meet Community Health Protection Grant Program and Carl Moyer Program requirements. New project types and increased grant amounts are available for the purchase of hybrid, zero- and near-zero-emissions equipment, and for fueling and charging infrastructure as part of alternative-fuel or battery-electric project types.
