Evening Community Meeting: Clean Transportation Incentives – Fiscal Year 2025-26 Funding Plan Budget Update and Workgroup Summaries


en español­

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 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 an update of this year’s Funding Plan budget, followed by summaries of two recent daytime workgroups focusing on Clean Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) policy changes, and Clean Mobility Investments and long term plan

Background

The annual Funding Plan for Clean Transportation Incentives is a detailed outline of how money will be spent on the Low Carbon Transportation Program, Air Quality Improvement Program (AQIP), and related funds. 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 will continue to hold monthly evening community meetings outside of the Funding Plan development process to provide updates on other CARB initiatives as well as a forum for community members to express their thoughts, concerns, and suggestions.
