The Air Resources Board will conduct a public meeting at the time and place noted below to consider the approval of the Proposed Fiscal Year 2015-16 Funding Plan for Low Carbon Transportation Investments and the Air Quality Improvement Program. DATE: June 25, 2015 TIME: 9:00 a.m. PLACE: California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board Byron Sher Auditorium 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 Directions: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/EPABldg/location.htm To provide your comments before the Board meeting and to view the Notice, please go to: http://www.arb.ca.gov/lispub/comm/bclist.php Interested members of the public may present comments orally or in writing at the meeting and may provide comments by postal mail or by electronic submittal before the meeting. To be considered by the Board, written comments not physically submitted at the meeting, must be received no later than 5:00 pm, June 22, 2015. The report may be obtained from ARB’s website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/aqip/ Further inquiries regarding this matter should be directed to Mr. Andrew Panson, Staff Air Pollution Specialist, at (916) 323-2809, or Mr. Ali Koohestani, Air Resources Technician, at (916) 324-1590. Background: The Governor’s proposed FY 2015-16 State Budget includes $350 million to ARB from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund for Low Carbon Transportation investments. This funding would reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with a priority on benefiting disadvantaged communities. The Governor’s proposed State Budget also includes $23 million to ARB for the Air Quality Improvement Program (AQIP) which provides mobile source incentives to reduce criteria pollutant, air toxic, and GHG emissions. The Low Carbon Transportation investments build upon and greatly expand the technology advancing projects ARB has funded through AQIP since 2009. The proposed FY 2015-16 Funding Plan describes how these combined funds will be spent. The plan describes ARB’s policy drivers and vision for advanced technology mobile source investments, eligible project categories and criteria, project funding allocations, and program implementation details. ARB staff has developed a joint plan for both funding sources to ensure synergistic investments between the programs while also ensuring that statutory requirements applicable to each are met. The investments proposed in this Funding Plan are predicated on the approval of the proposed FY 2015-16 State Budget. California faces ambitious goals to reduce GHG emissions, improve air quality, deploy zero-emission vehicles, and reduce petroleum dependency. The investments identified in the proposed FY 2015-16 Funding Plan are pivotal to meeting these goals by accelerating the development and deployment of advanced mobile source technologies.
