gmbond -- Prop. 1B/Goods Movement Update
Posted: 01 May 2009 12:55:44
We have updated the Proposition 1B: Goods Movement Emission Reduction Program webpage at http://www.arb.ca.gov/gmbond to reflect recent developments. At the May 28 Board meeting in Sacramento, staff will request Board support to make changes to the existing grant agreements between ARB and local agencies to implement the first round of $250 million in funding as these monies become available. The Board awarded this funding to local agencies back in May 2008, but the agencies have not been able to move forward due to the statewide suspension of bond funding. Limited funding is now becoming available to restart some of these projects. The grant agreements need to be modified to reflect the delay in bond funding and respond to other implementation issues. A detailed meeting notice discussing the proposed changes will be posted on the website during the week of May 4. We have deferred consideration of the new Program Guidelines, pending ARB’s ability to access the second and third rounds of bond funding (totaling $500 million). If you have any questions, please contact us at: (916) 44-GOODS (444-6637) or gmbond@arb.ca.gov.
