In June 2014, the Air Resources Board (ARB) approved the Fiscal
Year (FY) 2014-15 Funding Plan for the Air Quality Improvement
Program (AQIP) and Low Carbon Transportation Greenhouse Gas
Emission Reduction Fund (GGRF) Investments (FY 2014-15 Funding
Plan), providing up to $9 million in funding for Light-Duty Pilot
Projects, up to $25 million for Heavy-Duty Pilot Projects, and up
to $50 million for Advanced Technology Freight Demonstration
Projects.
These projects, outlined in the FY 2014-15 Funding Plan, will be
further developed with public input beginning in fall 2014
through a series of work group meetings and individual
stakeholder discussions.
Individual work groups will be established for each project
listed below. The purpose of the work group meetings is to
discuss the project design and scope of work for each project
solicitation. Staff encourages anyone who is interested in one
or more of these pilot projects to join our work group email
lists. To join our work group email lists, please email Stella
Ling-Taylor at slingtay@arb.ca.gov and indicate which email
list(s) you would like to be added to, from the following list:
• FY 2014-15 Funding Plan Implementation

Background: The Air Quality Improvement Program (AQIP) is
designed to support development and commercialization of advanced
technologies that are necessary to meet California's air quality
and climate goals. Established through the Alternative and
Renewable Fuel, Vehicle Technology, Clean Air, and Carbon
Reduction Act of 2007 (AB 118; Núñez, Chapter 750, Statutes of
2007), the program focuses on reducing criteria pollutant and
diesel particulate pollution with concurrent reductions in
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
The FY 2014-15 State budget provides $200 million from the
State's share of auction proceeds under the Air Resources Board's
Cap and Trade program to be spent on low carbon transportation
projects that reduce GHG emissions primarily in disadvantaged
communities. Because the Governor's goals for the investment of
Cap and Trade proceeds are consistent with the established
objectives of the AQIP program, and because of the past success
of the AQIP program structure, this year staff is combining the
two funding sources (AQIP and Low Carbon Transportation
Investments).
