Background: The Governor's proposed FY 2015-16 State Budget
includes $350 million to ARB from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction
Fund for Low Carbon Transportation investments. This funding
would reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with a priority on
benefiting disadvantaged communities. The Governor's proposed
State Budget also includes $23 million to ARB for the Air Quality
Improvement Program (AQIP) which provides mobile source
incentives to reduce criteria pollutant, air toxic, and GHG
emissions. The Low Carbon Transportation investments build upon
and greatly expand the technology advancing projects ARB has
funded through AQIP since 2009.
The proposed FY 2015-16 Funding Plan describes how these combined
funds will be spent. The plan describes ARB's policy drivers and
vision for advanced technology mobile source investments,
eligible project categories and criteria, project funding
allocations, and program implementation details. ARB staff has
developed a joint plan for both funding sources to ensure
synergistic investments between the programs while also ensuring
that statutory requirements applicable to each are met. The
investments proposed in this Funding Plan are predicated on the
approval of the proposed FY 2015-16 State Budget.
California faces ambitious goals to reduce GHG emissions, improve
air quality, deploy zero-emission vehicles, and reduce petroleum
dependency. The investments identified in the proposed FY
2015-16 Funding Plan are pivotal to meeting these goals by
accelerating the development and deployment of advanced mobile
source technologies.
Thank you
