Carl Moyer Program: On-Road Heavy Duty Vehicles
This page last reviewed February 15, 2013

On-Road Heavy Duty Vehicles
Chapter 4 of the Carl Moyer Program Guidelines describes the minimum criteria and requirements for on-road heavy-duty vehicle projects, except the Fleet Modernization and On-Road Voucher Incentive Program (On-Road VIP) projects (see Chapter 5 of the 2011 Carl Moyer Program Guidelines and the On-Road VIP Guidelines for more information about these programs). Local air quality management or air pollution control districts may set more stringent requirements based upon local priorities.
