Truck Funding Available - Proposition 1B Goods Movement Emission
Reduction Program (Program).  Six local air districts are
offering financial incentives to owners of trucks used in goods
movement to upgrade to cleaner technologies through truck
replacement or engine repower projects.  These funds are
available for eligible trucks operating primarily in the four
high priority trade corridors in the Bay Area, Central Valley,
Los Angeles/Inland Empire, and San Diego/Border corridors. 
Incentives for truck electrification infrastructure projects will
also be offered. 
The local agencies will be accepting applications beginning
August 26, 2013, for a limited time.  Please see the Program
website at:  http://www.arb.ca.gov/gmbond for more information
and how to apply for funds.

In addition, owners of fleets of 40 or fewer trucks may be
eligible for loan assistance, without the Prop. 1B grant
limitations regarding goods movement and operation in the trade
corridors.  Please see the following for more information and how
to apply:  http://www.arb.ca.gov/ba/loan/on-road/on-road.htm or

Background:  The Proposition 1B:  Goods Movement Emission
Reduction Program is a partnership between the State Air
Resources Board (ARB) and local agencies (like air districts and
ports) to quickly reduce air pollution emissions and health risk
from freight movement along California’s trade corridors.  ARB
provides funding to eligible agencies; those agencies then offer
financial incentives to owners of equipment used in freight
movement to upgrade to cleaner technologies prior to regulatory
requirements.
