Background: AQIP is a voluntary mobile source incentive program administered by ARB. 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. The Governor’s proposed FY 2015-16 Budget includes a $23 million allocation for AQIP projects. 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 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. The Governor’s proposed FY 2015-16 Budget includes a $200 million allocation for ARB for Low Carbon Transportation to continue ARB’s investments from the FY 2014-15 funding cycle.
