The California Air Resources Board (CARB) hosts a series of monthly evening community meetings on the third Tuesday of most months. The purpose of these meetings is to host focused discussions on CARB’s Clean Transportation Incentives Funding Plan (Funding Plan) development process. The Funding Plan explains how CARB will spend money on projects related to zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) to help improve air quality and reduce the impacts of climate change. Although the Funding Plan is generally developed between May and November, CARB staff will continue to hold monthly evening community meetings outside of the Funding Plan development timeline 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, suggestions, and to ask relevant questions.

During this month’s meeting, CARB staff will give a summary of four recent daytime workgroups focusing on developing the Funding Plan for Fiscal Year 2025-26. The first presentation will cover two related workgroup meetings on Light-Duty Vehicle Purchase Incentives and Long-Term Plan (meetings #1 and #2, held July 10, 2025 and July 31, 2025). The second presentation will cover a workgroup meeting on the Clean Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP), Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Project (CORE), Innovative Small e-Fleet Pilot Program (ISEF), and Long-Term Heavy Duty Investment Strategy (held July 22, 2025). The third presentation will cover the workshop on Funding Plan Draft Allocations and Policy Changes – Clean Transportation Incentives (held August 14, 2025).
