Clean Air Grant Program

Heavy-duty diesel vehicles subject to a compliance deadline within two years and off-road diesel equipment subject to a compliance deadline within four years are not eligible to apply.

Available Funds

Should there be any remaining funds after the initial solicitation, the District will determine how to continue to make funds available; whether through an open first-come, first-served basis or through another competitive solicitation. Either way, all eligible and cost-effective projects which do not receive funding at the time of application due to limited funds may be added to a waitlist until future funds become available.

Funding for the District's Clean Air Grant Program comes from a variety of federal, state and local sources. A large portion of the available funding comes from the California Air Resource Board's Carl Moyer Program and Community Air Protection Incentives Program. The District follows the Carl Moyer and Community Air Protection Incentives Guidelines when reviewing and ranking project applications. The District continues to seek and apply for additional funding sources. As these funds become available for projects submitted through the Clean Air Grant Program, they will be prioritized to projects which were previously submitted and placed on a waitlist by the District.
