Event Details

DEADLINE EXTENDED TO OCTOBER 26, 2023 @ 5:00 PM (PDT)

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) is pleased to announce a competitive grant solicitation for several Grantees to implement and administer the projects eligible for Advanced Technology Demonstration and Pilot Project program (referred to as Program or ATDPP) under the Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-22 Funding Plan for Clean Transportation Incentives (FY 2021-22 Funding Plan) and the FY 2022-23 Funding Plan for Clean Transportation Incentives (FY 2022-23 Funding Plan). On November 19, 2021, the Board approved $40 million for the Program for five project categories allocated under the FY 2021-22 Funding Plan. Then on November 17, 2022, the Board approved an additional $135 million for the Program allocated under the FY 2022-23 Funding Plan. These two Program funding allocations have been combined under this Solicitation. Additionally, $50 million in funding from the California Energy Commission (CEC) is included in this Solicitation to support infrastructure.

CARB’s goal under this Solicitation is to support a wide array of zero-emission off-road equipment and vessel projects as well as Green Zones, which has a very broad scope and is focused on supporting broad and creative roads to zero-emission adoption at the municipal level.

The Program is intended to strategically accelerate the advancement of innovative and economically viable technologies into the commercial marketplace while also supporting the State’s equity and emission reduction goals. The Program helps to achieve these goals by funding projects that help guide development by encouraging the economic and environmental benefits of the projects. Historically, 99 percent of demonstration and pilot project funds have gone to projects located in priority populations or to projects that benefit priority populations.

 
Projects funded under this Solicitation can support both pre-commercial technologies that are not yet offered for sale in the marketplace as well those commercial technologies that have already been deployed into the marketplace. All work must be completed and the CARB approved final report must be submitted to CARB by March 15, 2027.
