Background: AQIP is a voluntary mobile source incentive program
administered by ARB providing about $25 million per year through
2023. 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.
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 from GGRF 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. ARB expects to receive another appropriation for Low
Carbon Transportation investments from GGRF in the FY 2015-16
State Budget, so ARB staff intends to develop a joint Funding
Plan for the AQIP and GGRF funding sources for the FY 2015-16
funding cycle.
