Posted: 16 Dec 2014 11:22:28
The Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) invites you to participate in the second public workshop to discuss the development of 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 workshop will be held at the following time and place: Date: Friday, January 23, 2015 Time: 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Place: Cal/EPA Headquarters Building Coastal Hearing Room, 2nd Floor 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 This workshop will also be webcast for participants unable to attend in person. Directions to Cal/EPA headquarters and public transit can be found at: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/EPAbldg/location.htm For more information about the workshop, please go to: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aqip/meetings/meetings.htm For more information about the AQIP and ARB’s Low Carbon Transportation Investments, please go to: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aqip/aqip.htm 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 through 2023. ARB focuses AQIP investments on technology advancing projects that 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 low carbon freight and passenger transportation investments that benefit disadvantaged communities. These investments are being implemented through the administrative framework established by AQIP. ARB expects to receive another appropriation for Low Carbon Transportation investments from GGRF in the FY 2015-16 State Budget, so ARB staff intends to develop a joint Funding Plan for the AQIP and GGRF funding sources for the FY 2015-16 funding cycle.
