With funding from the California Air Resources Board’s Carl Moyer and Community Air Protection Programs, and other state and local funds, Clean Air Grants are able to reduce emissions of smog-forming pollutants in excess of those required by regulation. This reduces localized air pollution and improves air quality. A portion of the funds are reserved for projects located within or benefitting low-income communities.
Eligible grant project categories include:
- School bus replacements for public schools (diesel to diesel, CNG, or electric)
- Heavy-duty off-road equipment replacements (small off-road and agricultural fleets only)
- Electric charging and CNG or hydrogen fueling stations for private and public entities (residential not eligible)
- Heavy-duty vehicle replacements, such as transit buses and garbage trucks (diesel to diesel, CNG, or electric)
- Agricultural pump replacements (diesel to electric)
All vehicles and equipment must be in compliance with current regulations in order to apply.
Project applications will be reviewed on a competitive basis and must meet funding eligibility criteria. Applications may be submitted by email at [email protected], or by mail/hand-delivered to the District office at 110 Maple Street, Auburn, CA 95603. Applications received after the deadline will not be accepted.
