Public Workgroup #3 Meeting – Professional Landscape Service Equipment

THIS EVENT HAS PASSED

The Fiscal Year 2021-22 Funding Plan for Clean Transportation Incentives allocated $194.95 million to the Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Project (CORE).  CORE is intended to accelerate the adoption of cleaner, commercially available off-road technologies by providing a streamlined way for fleets ready to purchase specific zero-emission equipment. In addition to freight, this year CORE has expanded to include incentive funding for construction, agriculture, and marine zero-emission equipment. Included in the total funding allocation for CORE for Fiscal Year 2021-22 is $30 million from Senate Bill 170 directing CARB to establish a statewide program for incentivizing the purchase of zero-emission professional landscaping equipment for small-businesses and sole proprietors.
