Funding Wizard

The South Coast Air Quality Management District (South Coast AQMD) and the Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC) has established a residential Electric Vehicle (EV) charging incentive program to offset Level 2 (240v) EV charger hardware costs. This program will be available to residents within the South Coast AQMD’s four-county jurisdiction.

The program will provide an incentive to buy-down the cost of residential chargers, which typically range from $400-$800. The program is administered on a first-come, first-served basis and provides up to a $250 rebate or the cost paid for the charger, whichever is lower.  Low-income residents can qualify for a total rebate of $500 or the cost paid for the charger, whichever is lower

One of South Coast AQMD’s roles is to encourage the immediate use of commercially available, low, near-zero and zero emissions mobile and stationary technologies.  A variety of financial incentives, which include grants for incremental funding, subsidies or vouchers, are designed to promote voluntary introduction of new technologies on an accelerated schedule.  These incentives also provide manufacturers with justification to gear up for mass production of cleaner technologies.

The program offers deep discounts and, for low income qualified, may be free to some. See the FAQ below more details. In the process of reducing emissions from wood burning devices, South Coast AQMD is offering an incentive for residents, renters (with landlord approval), or landlords of a rental property in the areas surrounding cities of Riverside and San Bernardino or the community of Boyle Heights to replace their wood burning device. If you are a resident of one of these areas you may be eligible to receive funds for an installation of a cleaner burning alternative.

This program provides incentives for engine replacement (repower) of engines/motors used to power agricultural irrigation pumps. Funds are provided on a first come, first serve basis and applicants must obtain approval and have a signed, executed contract from the SJVAPCD prior to purchase of new equipment. Any equipment purchased prior to contract execution is ineligible as this is not a rebate program.

The Agricultural Tractor Replacement Program provides incentive funds for the replacement of in-use, off-road mobile equipment that are engaged in agricultural operations as defined by the California Air Resources Board. Funds are provided on a first come, first serve basis and applicants must obtain approval and have a signed, executed contract from the SJVAPCD prior to purchase of new equipment. Any equipment purchased prior to contract execution is ineligible as this is not a rebate program.

The Alternative to Agricultural Open Burning Incentive Pilot Program provides incentives to commercial agricultural operations located within Valley Air District boundaries to chip or shred agricultural material. The material must be used for soil incorporation or land application on agricultural land as an alternative to the open burning of the agricultural materials. Complete applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis while funds are available.

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. 

Currently, the Amador Air District is offering a Smoke Reduction Incentive Program (RIP). El Dorado County Air Quality Management District is administering this program on behalf of Amador Air District.  Contact them today to find out more!  (530) 621-7571. 

Program Objectives: 

To improve the quality of the air in the Antelope Valley by funding local, cost-effective projects to upgrade heavy-duty equipment. 

This incentive based program is to encourage local entities within the Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District (AVAQMD) to install electric vehicle charging stations to offer public options for electric vehicle charging.  Ideal project sites include but are not limited to retail centers, multi-unit dwellings, workplaces, hospitals, public transit stations, and park & rides.  This program will reimburse District Board approved projects up to 80 percent of the total costs of infrastructure, charging equipment and installation where the maximum funding amount is determined by meeting general criteria.
