The California Air Resources Board (CARB) hosts a series of monthly evening community meetings on the third Tuesday of most months to discuss their plans for funding clean transportation. These meetings have focused on the Clean Transportation Incentives Funding Plan (Funding Plan) Development Process which explains how CARB will spend money on projects related to zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) and improving air quality. Since the Funding Plan is generally developed between May and November, CARB staff will still hold monthly evening community meetings outside of the Funding Plan process to provide updates on incentive project implementation, other CARB initiatives, as well as to provide a forum for community members to express their thoughts, concerns, and suggestions.
During this meeting, CARB staff will give a summary of the most recent daytime workgroup meetings and discuss the implementation status of incentive projects such as the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Project (CORE), the Fiscal Year 2023-24 policy for the Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP), and Senate Bill 114 Funding Available for Zero-Emission School Buses and Infrastructure. There will also be two short presentations on other topics which will include an Introduction to Conversation’s with CARB’s Executive Office, and an overview of April’s Clean Transportation Equity Incentives Symposium. We have also invited the Zero Emission Regulation Section to present Amendments to California’s Clean Car Regulations in effort to help communities learn about and provide input on amendments to CARB's Advanced Clean Cars program, including new regulations to reduce greenhouse gas pollution from passenger cars and trucks and a new window sticker for zero-emission vehicles. Staff looks forward to your attendance and encourages collaboration from community members.
If you would like to suggest a topic(s) for future evening community meetings, please let us know at the May 21, 2024 meeting or email your suggestion(s) to our general email address CleanTransportationIncentives@arb.ca.gov.
The workgroup meeting will be held via a Zoom webinar on the following date and time:
Date: Tuesday, May 21, 2024
Time: 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. (PT)
Location: Webinar/Teleconference
Please register for the evening community meeting webinar. After you register, you will receive a confirmation email with information about how to join the webinar by computer or telephone.
This meeting will be recorded. Approximately two weeks after the meeting date, a link to the recording and a list of workgroup attendees will be made available and posted on CARB's Calendar of Events webpage.
Purpose of the Workgroup
CARB staff hosts evening community meetings related to the Funding Plan and project implementation updates for various CARB initiatives. Furthermore, CARB staff offer this platform to listen to community voices on their clean transportation needs.
The workgroup agenda is now available on CARB's Calendar of Events webpage. Staff’s presentation will be posted to the same webpage prior to the workshop.
All interested community members are invited to attend.
Background
The Annual Funding Plan for Clean Transportation Incentives is a detailed outline of how money will be spent on programs related to low carbon transportation and air quality. This plan is created each fiscal year to guide the allocation of funds appropriated to CARB through the State budget and includes information on CARB's goals and strategies for investing in clean technology. Although the Funding Plan is generally developed between May and November, CARB staff would like to continue to hold monthly evening community meetings outside of the Funding Plan process to provide updates on other CARB initiatives as well as a forum for community members to express their thoughts, concerns, and suggestions.
