SUMMARY:Public Work Group Meeting for the Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Project (CORE)
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS PASSED \nThe California Air Resources Board (CARB) approved $194.95 million for the Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Program (CORE) in the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Funding Plan for Clean Transportation Incentives in November 2021. 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 is expanding to include incentive funding for construction\, agriculture\, and professional landscaping equipment for small-business and sole proprietors. Legislatively\, $30 million was dedicated to support small businesses and sole-proprietors in purchasing zero-emission\, commercial grade landscaping equipment. \nOn June 2\, 2022\, CARB staff held a public work group meeting to further discuss development of CORE as it pertains to the $30 million to support small businesses and sole proprietors in purchasing zero-emission\, commercial grade landscaping equipment. The agenda for the meeting will be posted on the Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Project website. \nCORE Workgroup Presentation \nCORE Workgroup Agenda \nStakeholders interested in joining the CORE information distribution can click here to subscribe. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBackground\nCalifornia Climate Investments Low Carbon Transportation Funding: The Low Carbon Transportation program is part of California Climate Investments\, a statewide program that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions\, strengthening the economy and improving public health and the environment\, particularly in disadvantaged communities. CARB’s Low Carbon Transportation Program is designed to accelerate the transition to low carbon freight and passenger transportation with a priority on providing health and economic benefits to California’s most disadvantaged communities. These investments support the State’s climate change strategy pillars of a 50 percent reduction in petroleum use in vehicles by 2030 and reducing short lived climate pollutants and the Governor’s goal to deploy 5 million zero-emissions vehicles by 2030. Additionally\, these incentives provide important early steps to transform the transportation sector\, supporting Governor Newsom’s recent Executive Order N-79-20 calling on the State to accelerate the transformation to a zero-emission transportation fleet. Lastly\, these investments reduce ozone precursor emissions and toxic diesel particulate emissions\, supporting the State’s goals in these areas. \nSince 2013\, the Legislature has appropriated a total of over $2.7 billion to CARB for Low Carbon Transportation projects. These funds are being used to fund zero-emission and plug-in hybrid passenger vehicles through CVRP; light-duty vehicle equity projects to increase access to clean transportation in disadvantaged communities and for lower‑income Californians; deployment incentives for clean trucks and buses; and advanced technology demonstration projects for freight trucks and off-road equipment. \nMore Information\nAnnual Funding Plan: The annual funding plan is each year’s blueprint for expending Low Carbon Transportation and AQIP funds appropriated to CARB in the State budget. The FY 2021-22 Funding Plan covered a total of $1.5 billion in clean transportation appropriated to CARB in the Budget Act of 2021 as amended by SB 129 (Skinner\, Chapter 69\, Statutes of 2021) and SB 170 (Skinner\, Chapter 240\, Statutes of 2021). \nThe FY 2021-2022 Funding Plan for Clean Transportation Incentives allocates $194.95 million to CORE to build upon a program that will bring about greater adoption of cleaner\, commercially available off-road technologies by providing a streamlined way for fleets ready to purchase specific zero-emission equipment to receive funding. The modifications approved by the Board include an expansion into equipment types beyond freight\, including\, but not limited to\, construction\, agriculture\, and material handling. In addition\, the creation of set asides for small business or sole proprietors to purchase small off-road equipment\, including but not limited to\, leaf blowers and lawnmowers for professional landscape services. \nAir Pollution Control Fund investments have traditionally funded multiple technologies\, overcoming deployment barriers\, reducing production costs\, promoting consumer acceptance\, and accelerating technology transfer to other sectors. This program is designed to achieve both immediate emission reductions and\, as emphasized in Governor Newsom’s Executive Order N-79-20\, support the transformation of California’s equipment fleet to one that is zero-emitting where feasible. In designing these investments\, CARB strives to maximize the benefits for disadvantaged communities\, low-income communities\, and low-income households. \nCORE will provide vouchers for specified types of zero-emission off-road equipment on a first-come\, first‑served basis\, with increased incentives for equipment located in disadvantaged communities. CORE accelerates the deployment of cleaner off‑road equipment and benefits the citizens of California by providing immediate criteria pollutant and greenhouse gas emission reductions and supporting California’s long-term air quality and climate change goals.
