Background:  At the June 25, 2015 Board meeting, the Board
approved the proposed FY 2015 16 Funding Plan which describes how
ARB would spend $350 million in Low Carbon Transportation funding
from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund and $23 million for AQIP. 
At the time of the June 2015 Board action, the Legislature had
not yet appropriated the Low Carbon Transportation funds to ARB,
so the Funding Plan was contingent on appropriation of these
funds. 

In September 2015, the Legislature appropriated $90 million in
Low Carbon Transportation project funding to ARB.  This
appropriation is intended to provide continued funding for
existing projects in order to avoid implementation disruptions
while the Legislature considers the rest of the Governor’s
Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds budget proposal.  

Staff proposes to allocate the $90 million to the following three
existing vehicle rebate and voucher projects with ongoing
consumer demand:  the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project; Enhanced
Fleet Modernization Program Plus-Up Pilot Project to Benefit
Disadvantaged Communities; and the Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck
and Bus Voucher Incentive Project.  Implementation of the
remaining nine projects in the FY 2015-16 Funding Plan would be
deferred until additional funds are appropriated by the
Legislature.

Additional background on this programs is available on ARB’s
website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/aqip/.

Thank you.
