Background

Rule 2202 - On-Road Motor Vehicle Mitigation Options provides employers with a menu of flexible and cost effective options from which they can choose to implement to comply with the rule. One of the options available to employers is the Air Quality Investment Program (AQIP). An employer may elect to participate in this program by investing annually $46.73 per employee or triennially $129.79 per employee into an South Coast AQMD administered restricted fund. Monies collected in this restricted fund will be used by the South Coast AQMD to fund proposals that reduce emissions equivalent to an emission reduction target (ERT) based on the level of employer participation in the AQIP.

Purpose

The South Coast AQMD is seeking proposals to be funded by monies from the AQIP. Proposals will be accepted by the South Coast AQMD on an ongoing basis. Contracts will be awarded on a semi-annual basis. Proposals should demonstrate that emission reductions/air quality improvements are real, surplus, quantifiable, and contain appropriate methodologies.
