Retooling the Carl Moyer Program
This page last reviewed March 17, 2011
April 28, 2011 Board Notice of Public Meeting is available. In addition, the Proposed Draft 2011 Carl Moyer Program Guidelines are available for public comment.
Background:
Since 1998, the Carl Moyer Program has
provided over $680 million in
incentive funding for near-term air pollution emission reductions from
equipment and vehicles. The program provides grants for
cleaner-than required engines and emission control devices that reduce
toxic particles and smog-forming gases. However, as
a result of recently-adopted regulations and
changes in the economy, fewer projects are now eligible for funding.
This update (known as "Retooling") of the Carl
Moyer Program Guidelines is necessary to identify new opportunities for
emission reductions. It will help ensure that the program
continues to achieve results now and in the future.
Staff will present the Proposed Draft 2011 Carl Moyer Program
Guidelines to our Board for consideration on April 28, 2011.
March 10, 2011, marks the beginning of the public comment
period for the proposed revisions to the Carl Moyer Program Guidelines.
Below is the Board Notice for Public Meeting and the Proposed Draft
2011 Carl Moyer Program Guidelines for review. Also, further
below is information on the retooling development components.

Retooling Development Components:
Throughout the retooling of the Carl Moyer Program Guidelines, ensuring transparency has been a main goal of ARB. In order to acheive this goal, many public workshops and workgroup meetings were held where staff presented information regarding proposed revisions or additios to the Guidelines along with guidance documents to help the public understand why these revisions or additions were proposed. Below is a brief summary of the intent of retooling, the current guidelines and guidance documents, and a timeline of events.Program Administration
The Carl Moyer Program is in its 12th year of providing incentive funding. Additional regulatory activity and newly created programs have increased the complexity of administering the CMP. Staff is seeking input and discussion on existing administrative requirements and evaluating new procedures. The overall intent of retooling is to increase program efficiency, allow for flexibility, and maintain the integrity of the program by adhering to Health and Safety Code requirements.
Source Categories
The CMP funds emission reduction projects from various
mobile sources categories operating throughout California. These source
categories currently include: on-road, off-road, locomotive, marine vessels, agricultural sources,
and light duty vehicles. Staff is seeking input on opportunities for changes to current source category chapters
and adding new source categories.
