Background
Annual Funding Plan
The annual funding plan is each year’s blueprint for expending Low Carbon Transportation and AQIP funds appropriated to CARB in the State budget. For more information about the FY 2025-26 Funding Plan, please visit the Funding Plan website.
Clean Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP)
Supports the purchase of the cleanest available vehicles by providing vouchers to offset the incremental cost of medium- and heavy-duty trucks and buses. Offers purchase incentives for a wide variety of medium- and heavy-duty on-road vehicle types while set-asides offer focused support for certain vocations such as drayage trucks, public transit buses, and public school buses.
Innovative Small e-Fleet Pilot Project (ISEF)
A set-aside within HVIP designed to support small fleets and individual owner operators in accessing zero-emission vehicles. Through Providers, small fleets have an opportunity to access the benefits of the vouchers through all-inclusive leases, peer-to-peer truck sharing, truck-as-a-service, and other alternative business models.
Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Project (CORE)
This project is designed to encourage California businesses to purchase or lease cleaner off-road equipment. CORE offers a streamlined voucher process through which purchasers can receive funding to help offset the higher cost of zero-emission off-road equipment. Vouchers are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Long-Term Heavy-Duty Investment Strategy
This document, built upon previous years’ work, provides a three-year roadmap for Low Carbon Transportation and Air Quality Improvement Program (AQIP) incentives (collectively known as Clean Transportation Incentives), specific to the heavy-duty (HD) transportation sector, to help achieve the State’s climate change and air quality goals. The Strategy, required under Senate Bill 1403, the California Clean Truck, Bus, and Off-Road Vehicle and Equipment Technology Program (Lara, Chapter 370, Statutes of 2018), identifies priority focus areas and recommended levels of incentive funding and includes an update on school buses operating throughout the State. This document will be incorporated into the upcoming FY 2025-26 Funding Plan for Clean Transportation Incentives.
