Funding Wizard

The Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program (Carl Moyer Program) provides incentive grants for cleaner-than-required engines, equipment, and other sources of pollution providing early or extra emission reductions. Eligible projects include cleaner on-road, marine, and agricultural sources. Projects may include engine re-powers, the purchase of new vehicles using alternative fuels, and engine retrofit devices approved by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The District implements the program from funding received from CARB.

The SLO County APCD's Alt Fuel Infrastructure Grant Program provides funding for Electric Vehicle Charging and Natural Gas Fueling Stations in San Luis Obispo County. 

This is a first-come, first-serve program and $60,000 is currently available for new, conversion of existing, and expansion to existing non-residential EV Charging and Natural Gas Fueling Stations. 

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to solicit applications for three categories of Bridge Investment Program (BIP) funding opportunities: (1) Planning; (2) Bridge Projects (projects with eligible costs less than $100 million); and (3) Large Bridge Projects (projects with eligible costs greater than $100 million). Eligible applicants may submit applications for any of the three funding categories, but each category has distinct eligibility and selection criteria and application deadlines.These funds will be awarded on a competitive basis for planning, feasibility analysis, and revenue forecasting associated with the development of a project that would subsequently be eligible to apply for BIP funding under either the Bridge Projects or Large Bridge Projects funding categories.A total of $2.36 billion in 2022 BIP funds are available for the Bridge Projects and Large Bridge Projects funding opportunities. These funds will be awarded on a competitive basis for bridge replacement, rehabilitation, preservation, and protection projects that: (1) improve the safety, efficiency, and reliability of the movement of people and freight over bridges; and (2) improve the condition of bridges in the United States by reducing (a) the number of bridges, and total person miles traveled over bridges, that are in poor condition or that are in fair condition and at risk of falling into poor condition within the next three years, or (b) the number of bridges, and total person miles traveled over bridges, that do not meet current geometric design standards or cannot meet the load and traffic requirements typical of the regional transportation network. In addition, Large Bridge Projects that receive a BIP award of not less than $100 million are eligible for multiyear grants, in which DOT can award available funds to a project over the course of several years in accordance with an agreement and in alignment with its schedule. In selecting Bridge Projects and Large Bridge Projects, FHWA will consider the extent to which BIP funds leverage non-Federal contributions from sponsors and stakeholders involved in the planning, design, and construction of eligible projects.

Electric vehicles (EVs) cost significantly less to run, have lower maintenance costs and emit 25 times less emissions than gasoline-powered cars!

We have provided information below to teach you about electric vehicles and make your transition from gas-powered to an electric vehicle seamless!

Our EV Programs

We want to help make your transition to electric vehicles easy. We currently offer the following EV programs:

The District is currently accepting applications for its Charge Up! Program. This Program provides funding for public agencies, businesses, and property owners of multi-unit dwellings (i.e. apartment complexes, condominiums, etc.) in the San Joaquin Valley to install electric vehicle (EV) chargers. These chargers will support existing EV owners and encourage the growth of the clean technology in the Valley.

Most of our grant opportunities are administered through the help of the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA).  Applications are submitted and reviewed by CAPCOA and the California Air Resource Board (CARB) staff to determine if a project meets the guidelines and criteria under the Carl Moyer Program. 

The Vanpool Voucher Incentive Program (VVIP) provides subsidies to Valley residents to participate in vanpools in lieu of using single occupant vehicle commutes. The purpose of the VVIP is to encourage commuter rideshare practices among frequent long distance (greater than 20 miles) riders in the San Joaquin Valley. For more information about the program, please review the program guidelines and application.

On-Road Clean Air Vehicles and Infrastructure

The Air District offers funds for the following:

Trucks: Funding is available to replace or repower on-road vehicles with newer, lower-emission equipment through our Carl Moyer Program, or the Goods Movement Program.

Electric Vehicle Charging Stations: Funding is available for public agencies and businesses to expand the network of publicly available plug-in electric charging stations at workplaces, multifamily dwelling units, and public locations.

Light Duty EVs in fleets: Funding is available to public agencies and businesses for the purchase or lease of zero-emissions light-duty vehicles in very high-mileage fleets.

School Buses: Funding is available to public agencies and businesses to replace or repower public school buses, replace on-board natural gas tanks, and to install charging/fueling infrastructure as part of an equipment project.

Off-Road Equipment

Off-road Equipment: Upgrade or replace off-road diesel equipment.

Marine Vessels: Upgrade or replace commercial diesel-powered marine vessels.

Agricultural Equipment: Upgrade or replace off-road diesel farm equipment.

Locomotives: Upgrade or replace locomotive equipment.

The Proposition 1B: Goods Movement Emission Reduction Program (GMERP) provides incentives to quickly reduce air pollution emissions and health risk from freight movement along California's trade corridors. Financial incentives will be provided to owners of equipment used in freight movement to upgrade to cleaner technologies through truck replacement or engine replacement. Projects funded under this Program must achieve emission reductions not required by law or regulation. Please note that the Proposition 1B Goods Movement Emission Reduction Program is not a rebate program. Any new truck or new engine purchased, or installed prior to contract execution is ineligible. Please sign up for our Incentive Programs e-mail lists for notification of when the application period opens. 

Community Air Protection funds allow for immediate actions to improve the air quality of the most impacted communities across the state, while the other aspects of AB 617 are developed and implemented. Partnering with communities is essential to the success of these incentives, and both the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and air districts are looking to local community members and groups to help identify funding priorities
