There are many upcoming opportunities to improve access to clean transportation and fund mobility projects in your community. Clean transportation choices can range from bike share to zero-emission car share services, and offer affordable, clean transportation solutions for low-income residents within disadvantaged, low-income and tribal communities. Clean transportation options also deliver health, environmental, and economic benefits. The light-duty Current Projects in Action page provides examples of clean transportation solutions operating in communities throughout California.
New voucher-based funding opportunity for communities to conduct transportation needs assessments and to implement mobility projects (i.e. zero-emission carsharing, bikesharing, and innovative transit services) in disadvantaged, low-income, and tribal communities. CMO offers:
In 2020, $21.15 million was awarded to public agencies, tribal governments, and nonprofits. Funding and timing for 2021 projects have not been announced. Check for upcoming meetings to discuss funding and timing for future voucher windows.
The Clean Mobility in Schools Pilot Projects, which are located within disadvantaged communities, intend to encourage and accelerate the deployment of new zero-emission school buses, school fleet vehicles, passenger cars, lawn and garden equipment, and can incorporate alternative modes of transportation like transit vouchers, active transportation elements, and bicycle share programs.
