How does this program provide benefits to priority populations?

Other Opportunities

• Use the Funding Finder Tool to find funding sources for trucks and buses and charging and fueling equipment in the state of California.

• Carl Moyer Program: Funding may be available, depending on the specific air district, but fleets must be in compliance and eligible trucks must meet the 2023 compliance deadline in order to be eligible. For more information regarding the Carl Moyer Program, please contact the local air district.

• Funds from the Volkswagen Mitigation Trust may also be available statewide for zero-emission buses, for zero-emission Class 8 trucks, zero-emission freight and marine projects, and for low-NOx Class 7 and 8 trucks and engines.
