What does it fund?

Safe, affordable, and reliable clean transportation for agricultural workers in disadvantaged and low-income communities in the San Joaquin Valley and other agricultural areas in California to get to job sites. CalVans deployed 154, 15-passenger hybrid conversion vans in January 2019. CalVans later determined that the hybrid conversion technology was not well suited for the ongoing performance demands and wear-and-tear associated with continuous off-road use so the project is no longer operational. 

Who is eligible for funds?

No funding is currently available for this project.

Are there recent policy changes?

None.

How does this program provide benefits to priority populations?

The program was limited to projects that serve priority populations. However, the demand for safe, convenient, and affordable transportation remains high in rural communities. Pooled transportation using clean-technology vehicles proved to be effective in meeting transportation needs while also providing air quality benefits; however, range and performance demands are important considerations when selecting vehicles for a particular application.             

How do I access funds?
