Available Voucher Funds

Senate Bill 170 (Skinner, Chapter 240, Statutes of 2021) allocated $30 million for CARB to establish a statewide program that incentivizes the purchase of zero-emission landscaping equipment by small-businesses and sole proprietors doing professional landscape in California. CARB incorporated this incentive funding into its existing CORE project framework as a Professional Landscape Service Equipment voucher project. The project was launched in September 2022. The application period closed in October 2023, when all funding for zero-emission landscaping equipment was allocated. Since then, approximately $6-7 million remains from vouchers that were issued but have expired and were left unredeemed.

Now that funds have become available, the CORE Professional Landscape Service Equipment funding segment will begin accepting new voucher applications for the purchase of zero-emission professional landscape equipment on March 26, at 9 a.m. PT.
