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 Governor's proposed budget for FY 2015
16 would appropriate $200 million from the Greenhouse Gas
Reduction Fund 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.
ARB staff is developing a joint Funding Plan for the AQIP and
GGRF funding sources for the FY 2015-16 funding cycle. ARB staff
anticipates releasing the proposed FY 2015-16 Funding Plan in May
2015 with Board consideration in June 2015.
