    Year 5 Preliminary Ranklists: Truck Solicitations 2016-2021

    Year 5 funds opened in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2020. Year 5 preliminary ranklists for closed solicitation periods are posted below.

    Equipment shown on the preliminary ranklist has met basic eligibility criteria for the program. However, appearance on the ranklist does not guarantee that equipment will receive program funding; applicants must complete further steps in order to receive funding. 

    Regulatory compliance - Program eligibility assumes that a truck and the fleet are already compliant at the time the owner applies for a grant. If staff notify applicants that their projects cannot be funded due to regulatory non-compliance, owners must work with CARB TRUCRS staff to correct fleet reporting problems. If compliance issues cannot be resolved with CARB, the fleet is not eligible for YR5/6 Goods Movement Program funding.
