Background:  AQIP is a voluntary mobile source incentive program
administered by ARB providing about $25 million per year
(depending on revenues) through 2023.  ARB focuses AQIP
investments on technology advancing projects which support
California’s long-term air quality and climate change goals in
addition to providing immediate emission benefits.  Each year,
the Board approves the AQIP Funding Plan, which serves as the
blueprint for expending AQIP funds.  

Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds provide an additional funding
source for ARB’s advanced technology clean transportation
incentive programs, expanding the types of projects ARB has
funded through AQIP.  The FY 2014-15 State budget appropriated
$200 million from GGRF to ARB for Low Carbon Transportation
projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with an emphasis on
investments that benefit disadvantaged communities consistent
with a Cap-and-Trade Investment Plan prepared in 2013.  These
investments are being implemented through the administrative
framework established by AQIP.  ARB developed a single Funding
Plan for the FY 2014-15 funding cycle that covered both AQIP and
GGRF funding sources.  ARB staff again plans to develop a joint
AQIP-GGRF Funding Plan for FY 2015-16.
