Background
The Clean Mobility Options Voucher Pilot Program (also known as Clean Mobility Options or CMO), is part of CARB’s suite of Sustainable Community-Based Transportation Equity projects within the Low Carbon Transportation program. The Low Carbon Transportation program is part of California Climate Investments, a statewide initiative that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health and the environment – particularly in disadvantaged communities.
CMO is intended to streamline the grant application process and help smaller entities and communities with limited resources access funding as well as application and project implementation assistance. In addition, CMO supports transportation projects that meet community transportation needs as identified by residents of the community the project would benefit. These elements address priority recommendations of the Senate Bill 350 Barriers Study for overcoming barriers for low-income, disadvantaged, and tribal communities to access zero-emission transportation and other clean mobility choices.
The CMO Program Administrator team, which includes CALSTART and the Shared Use Mobility Center (SUMC) in partnership with emergent labs and Heartquist Strategies has developed a streamlined voucher application system to fund eligible community transportation needs assessments and zero-emission mobility projects such as carsharing, bikesharing, vanpooling, ride-on-demand services, and innovative transit services to benefit underserved communities including tribes.
