Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2017 15:41:44 -0800 Subject: arbcombo -- Public Workshop on FY 2017-18 Funding Plan for Low-Carbon Transportation Investments and AQIP From: ggarcia@arb.ca.gov The Air Resources Board (ARB) invites you to participate in a public workshop on the Fiscal Year (FY) 2017-18 Funding Plan for Low Carbon Transportation investments and the Air Quality Improvement Program (AQIP). ARB staff will seek input on how to allocate the funding for these programs in the Governor’s proposed State Budget. The meeting will be held at the following time and place: Date: Friday, February 10, 2017 Time: 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Place: Cal/EPA Headquarters Building Coastal Hearing Room, Second Floor 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 A meeting notice for the workshop is posted at https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aqip/meetings/meetings.htm, and more information on about the ARB’s Low Carbon Transportation investments and AQIP can be found at https://www.arb.ca.gov/aqip/. This meeting will be webcast for those unable to attend in person. The broadcast can be accessed on the day of the workshop at https://video.calepa.ca.gov/. Directions to Cal/EPA headquarters and public transit can be found at: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/EPAbldg/location.htm. If you have questions regarding the workshop, please contact Andrew Panson at (916) 323-2809 or andrew.panson@arb.ca.gov. Background: Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds provide funding for ARB’s advanced technology, clean transportation incentive programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, expanding the types of projects ARB has funded through AQIP. These investments accelerate the transition to low carbon freight and passenger transportation with an emphasis on investments that provide health and economic benefits to disadvantaged communities. The Governor has proposed $363 million in Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds for Low Carbon Transportation investments and $28.6 million for AQIP investments for FY 2017-18. ARB staff intends to develop a joint Funding Plan for Low Carbon Transportation and AQIP. California is in a drought emergency. Visit www.SaveOurH2O.org for water conservation tips.

The meeting will be held at the following time and place: Date: Thursday, April 6, 2017 Time: 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Place: Cal/EPA Headquarters Building Coastal Hearing Room, Second Floor 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 A meeting notice for the workshop is posted at: https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aqip/meetings/meetings.htm. This meeting will be webcast for those unable to attend in person. The broadcast can be accessed on the day of the workshop at https://video.calepa.ca.gov/. CARB staff plans to post a discussion document outlining its draft recommendations on project categories, funding allocations, and project criteria for the Funding Plan several days before the workshop on CARB’s Low Carbon Transportation/AQIP website. The discussion document will include an agenda. For more information about these programs, please go to: https://www.arb.ca.gov/aqip/. If you have questions regarding the workshop, please contact Andrew Panson at (916) 323-2809 or andrew.panson@arb.ca.gov. Background: The Low Carbon Transportation program is part of California Climate Investments, a statewide program that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy and improving public health and the environment—particularly in disadvantaged communities. California Climate Investments support CARB’s advanced technology, clean transportation incentive programs which are designed accelerate the transition to low carbon freight and passenger transportation with a priority on providing health and economic benefits to California’s disadvantaged communities. The Governor’s proposed FY 2017-18 Budget would direct $363 million for CARB to continue Low Carbon Transportation investments. AQIP is a mobile source incentive program that focuses on reducing criteria pollutant and diesel particulate emissions with concurrent reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The Governor’s proposed Budget includes $28.6 million for AQIP. One of the pending consent decrees to resolve claims against Volkswagen for equipping its diesel vehicles with defeat devices would require the company to pay CARB $25 million to fund “the ZEV-related aspects of the EFMP Plus Up Program or the ZEV-related aspects of similar vehicle replacement programs.” CARB staff intends to include a proposal for how to spend this $25 million in the FY 2017-18 Funding Plan contingent on court approval of the consent decree.

Background: In 2007, Governor Schwarzenegger signed into law the California Alternative and Renewable Fuel, Vehicle Technology, Clean Air, and Carbon Reduction Act of 2007, Assembly Bill (AB) 118 (Núñez Statutes of 2007, Chapter 750). AB 118 created AQIP, a voluntary incentive program administered by CARB, to fund clean vehicle and equipment projects, air quality research, and workforce training. The Trade-Up Pilot Project is funded entirely through AQIP, which is targeted to reduce criteria pollutants and air toxics, often with greenhouse gas emission reduction co-benefits. Emissions from mobile agricultural equipment are among a number of significant sources of air pollution in the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin, and reducing these emissions is necessary to meet federal health-based air quality standards. ARB incentive programs and regulations are already reducing emissions from a wide variety of diesel engines in the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin, however, a continuing transition to the cleanest technologies is needed in order to meet air pollution standards in 2023 and 2032. Existing local, State, and federal agricultural equipment incentives are currently helping growers purchase new equipment in exchange for scrapping old equipment. A trade-up incentive for incrementally cleaner, used equipment may hold potential as a new incentive pathway for growers with high-emitting equipment that are not able to take advantage of current programs. Contact: If you have questions regarding this funding opportunity or the applicant teleconference, please contact Ms. Erin Uchida, Air Resources Engineer, at (916) 323-0002 or by email at erin.uchida@arb.ca.gov.

Transforming the State’s transportation sector to support widespread electrification requires increasing access for all residents, including low-income and those living in disadvantaged communities, across a broad spectrum of clean mobility options. SB 350 directs the California Air Resources Board (CARB or Board) to examine the barriers low income residents must overcome to increase access to zero-emission and near zero emission transportation and develop recommendations on how to overcome these barriers. CARB undertook a public process and directly engaged local community members, including low-income residents, to determine the main barriers to clean transportation access. CARB framed the results of this effort as a guidance document, which provides a pathway to overcome barriers to clean transportation and mobility options. The guidance document, formally titled, Low-Income Barriers Study, Part B: Overcoming Barriers to Clean Transportation Access for Low Income Residents (Draft SB 350 Clean Transportation Access Guidance Document), and supporting Appendices are now available for public review and comment at: https://www.arb.ca.gov/transoptions The Draft SB 350 Clean Transportation Access Guidance Document is an initial step in identifying the main barriers and providing initial recommendations as a framework to address them moving forward. Recommendations include steps that the Legislature, communities, State and local planning, transportation, and air quality agencies can take to overcome specific barriers and begin to formulate innovative, meaningful solutions. Many of the recommendations build upon current actions State and local agencies are implementing to increase access to transportation electrification for all Californians. CARB is seeking public input on the Draft SB 350 Clean Transportation Access Guidance Document. To submit written feedback, please contact Ms. Ashley Dunn, Air Pollution Specialist, at (626) 459-4385 or by email at Ashley.Dunn@arb.ca.gov. To facilitate an ongoing public process, CARB will hold a public roundtable meeting in the next two months. Further details for the roundtable will be announced soon and posted on the project webpage provided above. Please make sure you are subscribed to the following project listserv to receive details on this meeting: https://www.arb.ca.gov/listserv/listserv_ind.php?listname=transoptions CARB also plans to provide an informational update to the Board in Spring 2017. Staff will update the Board on key findings in the Draft SB 350 Clean Transportation Access Guidance Document, present initial recommendations, and summarize public comments received. CARB intends to publish a final guidance document in late Summer 2017. Continued coordination and engagement across the State is critical for building continued understanding and solutions for increased clean transportation access for all residents, including low-income residents. CARB will continue coordinating with the California Energy Commission (CEC), transportation agencies, and key stakeholders in developing implementable actions, and ensuring progress is made to achieve the goals of transportation electrification, including increased access for low-income residents and disadvantaged communities. Further information about this effort is available at: https://www.arb.ca.gov/transoptions Background: Transportation electrification is the cornerstone of California’s future towards meeting both air quality and climate goals, along with ensuring economic prosperity and energy security needs. SB 350 plays an important role in ensuring the State is taking positive steps forward to promote widespread electrification across transportation and mobility options and in turn increasing clean transportation access for all residents. Portions of SB 350 are intended to address legislative findings that there is insufficient understanding of the barriers to access for low-income customers to: • Zero-emission and near zero-emission transportation options. • All forms of renewable energy being generated in the State. • Energy efficiency investments. As a result, CARB was directed to develop and publish a study, in consultation with CEC and with input from other relevant state agencies and the public, on barriers for low-income customers to access zero-emission and near-zero-emission transportation options, including those in disadvantaged communities as well as recommendations on how to increase access. Similarly, CEC was directed to develop and publish a study on barriers for low-income customers to energy efficiency and weatherization investments, including those in disadvantaged communities as well as recommendations on how to increase access to energy efficiency and weatherization investments to low-income customers. The results of these efforts are two separate, but related, reports that provide recommendations intended to have a transformative effect on access to clean energy and transportation investments for low-income residents, including in disadvantaged communities. In December 2016, CEC published their study, formally titled, Low-Income Barriers Study, Part A: Overcoming Barriers to Energy Efficiency and Renewables for Low-Income Customers and Small Business Contracting Opportunities in Disadvantaged Communities, which is available at: www.energy.ca.gov/sb350/barriers_report/documents/index.html Contact: For more information on the on the Draft SB 350 Clean Transportation Access Guidance Document, please contact Ms. Ashley Dunn, Air Pollution Specialist, at (626) 459-4385 or by email at Ashley.Dunn@arb.ca.gov.

This study examined consumer response to PEV market offerings and tested hypotheses about potential determinants of PEV sales over time and across locations in California using data models with a high degree of spatial and temporal resolution. Three types of explanatory factors were evaluated: (1) government policies such as vehicle purchase incentives; (2) market variables such as fuel price; and (3) factors that vary geographically such as household income.

Additional proposed Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds funding for two new CARB incentive programs is also pending before the Legislature: one to reduce agricultural sector emissions and another for air districts to reduce emissions to achieve early actions for the community emission reduction programs developed pursuant to Assembly Bill (AB) 617 (Garcia, Chapter 136, Statutes of 2017). These new programs are outside of the scope of this workshop and the FY 2017 18 Clean Transportation Incentives Funding Plan. CARB will launch separate public processes focused for these new programs shortly. The meeting will be held at the following time and place: Date: Wednesday, October 4, 2017 Time: 9:30 am to 4:30 pm Place: Cal/EPA Headquarters Building Sierra Hearing Room, Second Floor 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 A meeting notice for the workshop is posted at: https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aqip/meetings/meetings.htm. This meeting will be webcast for those unable to attend in person. The broadcast can be accessed on the day of the workshop at https://video.calepa.ca.gov/. Staff plans to post a draft Funding Plan outlining its proposals on project categories, funding allocations, and project criteria for this funding about a week before the workshop on CARB’s Low Carbon Transportation/AQIP website at https://www.arb.ca.gov/aqip/. The draft document will include a workshop agenda. Staff’s presentation will be posted on this website the morning of the workshop. If you have questions regarding the workshop, please contact Andrew Panson at (916) 323-2809 or andrew.panson@arb.ca.gov. Background: AQIP: AQIP is a mobile source incentive program that focuses on reducing criteria pollutant and diesel particulate emissions with concurrent reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. CARB was appropriated $28.64 million for AQIP in the 2017 State Budget. Volkswagen Settlement for ZEV Aspects of Vehicle Replacement Programs: CARB has entered into several partial consent decrees with Volkswagen to resolve claims against the company for equipping its diesel vehicles with illegal defeat devices. One of the partial consent decrees requires Volkswagen to pay CARB $25 million to fund “the ZEV-related aspects of the EFMP Plus Up Program or the ZEV-related aspects of similar vehicle replacement programs.” CARB was appropriated $25 million to implement this part of the settlement in the 2017 State Budget. Zero/Near-Zero Emission Warehouse Program: CARB was appropriated $50 million in one-time funding for a new Zero/Near Zero Emission Warehouse Program. These funds are to be used for a competitive funding program to advance implementation of zero- and near zero emission warehouses and technology with a requirement for a one-to-one match resulting in $100 million for projects. The Legislature directed CARB to develop criteria for implementing this program using the AQIP funding plan process. Low Carbon Transportation: The Low Carbon Transportation Program is part of California Climate Investments, a statewide program that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy and improving public health and the environment—particularly in disadvantaged communities. California Climate Investments support CARB’s advanced technology, clean transportation incentive programs which are designed accelerate the transition to low carbon freight and passenger transportation with a priority on providing health and economic benefits to California’s disadvantaged communities. CARB’s potential Low Carbon Transportation appropriation is still pending before the Legislature.

The VW Mitigation Trust is a component of a partial settlement with VW resulting from its use of illegal defeat devices in certain 2.0-liter and 3.0-liter model year 2009 to 2016 diesel cars sold in the State. The Mitigation Trust is enumerated in a Partial Consent Decree as Appendix D. The workshop will be held at the following date, time, and location: Date: Monday, October 9, 2017 Time: 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (PST) Location: Cal/EPA Headquarters Byron Sher Auditorium, Second Floor 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 During the workshop, staff will discuss and seek input on factors for developing California’s Beneficiary Mitigation Plan to guide VW Mitigation Trust monies in California, including: • Guiding principles for the use of the Mitigation Trust funds. • Potential eligible mitigation action categories to consider for funding. • The process for administering mitigation action projects. • Implementing Legislative direction (Senate Bill 92) on providing benefits to low-income and disadvantaged communities.

Background: In October 2016, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California approved a Partial Consent Decree (first Consent Decree) pertaining to the subject 2.0 liter VW diesel cars. A second Partial Consent Decree was approved by the Court in May 2017 that pertains to the subject 3.0-liter diesel cars and augments the first Consent Decree. The Consent Decrees partially resolve Clean Air Act and California state claims against VW for equipping its 2.0-liter and 3.0-liter diesel vehicles with defeat devices. The Mitigation Trust is enumerated in the first Partial Consent Decree as Appendix D. Appendix D is intended to mitigate past and future excess NOx emissions from the subject vehicles. Under the terms of the Consent Decree, VW must pay about $3 billion ($423 million for California) into a mitigation trust over a three-year period for eligible mitigation actions that consist mostly of scrap-and-replace projects, including supportive infrastructure for zero- and near zero-emission advanced technology replacements, for the heavy-duty sector. Before the State can expend any Trust funds, it must develop and submit to the Trustee, Wilmington Trust, N.A., a Beneficiary Mitigation Plan that describes the eligible mitigation actions to be funded; the recommended allocation percentages; the estimated emission benefits; and a consideration of potential impacts of the eligible mitigation actions on air quality in areas that bear a disproportionate share of the air pollution burden. In addition to the Consent Decree requirements, Senate Bill (SB) 92, passed in June 2017, further directs how California’s Mitigation Trust funds in Appendix D are to be spent. The legislation directs the designated Lead Agency for the Mitigation Trust to strive to ensure that at least 35 percent of California’s allocation benefit low-income or disadvantaged communities that are disproportionately impacted by air pollution. SB 92 also requires the Lead Agency – which the Governor has indicated will be CARB – to strive to ensure that the expenditures align with the state’s priorities and provide for public transparency before approval.
