arbcombo -- Solicitation for Fiscal Year 2016-17 On-Road Advanced Technology Demonstration Projects
Posted: 19 May 2017 15:44:35
The California Air Resources Board (CARB or Board) is pleased to announce its Grant Solicitation for the On-Road Advanced Technology Demonstrations Projects. The opportunity was approved by the Board as part of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2016-17 Funding Plan for Low Carbon Transportation and Fuels Investments and the Air Quality Improvement Program (AQIP). Up to $17 million is available for this project and will provide greenhouse gas (GHG), criteria pollutant, and toxic air contaminant emission reduction benefits to disadvantaged communities. Along with the separate Off-Road Advanced Technology Demonstration Project, it is part of a $34 million allocation for advanced technology freight demonstrations. Solicitations for each FY 2016-17 demonstration project will be released separately. Projects funded under this solicitation will demonstrate pre-commercial Intelligent Transportation Systems and Connected Trucks, Advanced Engines and Powertrains, and Zero-Emission Short and Regional Haul Trucks. Eligible vehicle types will be limited to Class 7 and Class 8 (GVWR >26,000 lbs.) on-road heavy heavy-duty trucks focused on freight activities. California-based public agencies such as air districts, ports, and local government entities or agencies as well as California-based non-profit organizations with expertise implementing large scale advanced technology demonstration projects and the requisite knowledge of advanced technology truck operations may apply. Applications are due to CARB by 5:00 p.m., August 16, 2017. CARB will hold an Applicant Teleconference to answer questions regarding this Grant Solicitation on Thursday, June 15, 2017. The Applicant Workshop will provide an opportunity for potential applicants to ask clarifying questions regarding general application requirements.

A public investment in these technologies helps to achieve significant emission reductions in GHGs, criteria pollutants, and toxic air contaminants. This commitment from the State encourages industry to expeditiously invent, develop, test, and introduce cutting edge emission reducing technologies. Advanced Technology Demonstration Projects will also leverage public investment with private capital and ingenuity to reach beyond the current technological forefront and will provide GHG, criteria pollutant, and toxic air contaminant emission reduction benefits to specific disadvantaged communities. Eligible disadvantaged communities are identified by the California Environmental Protection Agency’s California Communities Environmental Health Environmental Health Screening Tool (CalEnviroScreen 2.0) that assesses all census tracts in the State to identify areas disproportionately burdened by and vulnerable to multiple sources of pollution. Contact For questions regarding this funding opportunity or the applicant teleconference, please contact Mr. Earl Landberg, Air Pollution Specialist, at (916) 323-1384 or by email at earl.landberg@arb.ca.gov.
