Background: At the June 23, 2016 Board meeting, the Board approved the proposed FY 2016 17 Funding Plan which describes how ARB would spend $500 million in proposed Low Carbon Transportation and Fuels funding from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund and $28.6 million for Air Quality Improvement Program (AQIP). At the time of the Board’s action, the Legislature had appropriated AQIP funds to ARB as part of the Budget Act of 2016 but had deferred action on the $500 million in Low Carbon Transportation and Fuels funding. Hence, the Low Carbon Transportation and Fuels elements of the Board-approved Funding Plan were contingent on appropriation of these funds. The Funding Plan included contingency provisions to address this budget uncertainty including direction that staff return with modifications to the plan in the event that the Legislature appropriated less than $400 million to ARB. On August 31, 2016, the Legislature appropriated $363 million to ARB for Low Carbon Transportation projects and provided direction on how these funds are used. The Legislature also approved an associated budget trailer bill which directs ARB to make a changes to the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project. Staff is proposing modifications to the FY 2016-17 Funding Plan to address the smaller budget appropriation and additional direction from the Legislature. These changes are fully described in the meeting notice. California is in a drought emergency. Visit www.SaveOurH2O.org for water conservation tips.
