Who is Eligible
Any company is eligible to receive funding, regardless of where they operate, but any funded project needs to have a practical field demonstration in California. An eligible applicant is needed to apply and administer any funding and can include, local air districts, other public agencies, and California-based non-profit organizations.
How it’s Administered
The Program will be administered and implemented through a partnership between CARB and the Grantee, selected via a competitive Solicitation. Up to eight percent of a projects award can be used for day to day project administration.
Where and When it’s Offered
Solicitations for funding are released on a semi-regular basis when funding is allocated by the legislature and described in CARBs Low Carbon Transportation annual funding plan.
Project Funding or Participation Requirements
Each fiscal year, CARB staff submits a proposed funding plan to the Board for approval that serves as the blueprint for expending GGRF, AQIP, and other funds appropriated to CARB in the State budget for Low Carbon Transportation and related investments. The annual funding plan establishes CARB’s priorities for the funding cycle, describes the projects CARB intends to fund, and sets funding targets for each project. Funding is provided for projects that support evolution through three phases of technology advancement: demonstration, commercialization, and transition to widespread deployment.
