The Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) invites you to participate in a public kickoff workshop to begin developing the Fiscal Year (FY) 2015-16 Funding Plan for the Air Quality Improvement Program (AQIP) and Low Carbon Transportation Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) Investments. ARB staff will seek input on existing project categories being funded through these programs, potential new project categories, and recently signed legislation affecting the implementation of these programs. The meeting will be held at the following time and place: Date: Friday, November 7, 2014 Time: 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Place: Cal/EPA Headquarters Building Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 This workshop will also be webcast for participants unable to attend in person.

If you have questions regarding the workshop, please contact Andrew Panson at (916) 323-2809 or andrew.panson@arb.ca.gov. Background: AQIP is a voluntary mobile source incentive program administered by ARB providing about $25 million per year (depending on revenues) through 2023. ARB focuses AQIP investments on technology advancing projects which support California’s long-term air quality and climate change goals in addition to providing immediate emission benefits. Each year, the Board approves the AQIP Funding Plan, which serves as the blueprint for expending AQIP funds. Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds provide an additional funding source for ARB’s advanced technology clean transportation incentive programs, expanding the types of projects ARB has funded through AQIP. The FY 2014-15 State budget appropriated $200 million from GGRF to ARB for Low Carbon Transportation projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with an emphasis on investments that benefit disadvantaged communities consistent with a Cap-and-Trade Investment Plan prepared in 2013. These investments are being implemented through the administrative framework established by AQIP. ARB developed a single Funding Plan for the FY 2014-15 funding cycle that covered both AQIP and GGRF funding sources. ARB staff again plans to develop a joint AQIP-GGRF Funding Plan for FY 2015-16.
