Year 3 CAPP Incentives
In 2019, AB 74 was signed by the Governor appropriating $245 million statewide for the continue support of AB 617 goals and objectives. Similar to Year 2 CAPP Incentives, these incentive funds have been distributed by CARB to air districts for projects that are eligible under the following actions:
- Community-identified projects/programs in an approved Community Emissions Reduction Plan (CERP)
- Mobile source projects eligible through the Carl Moyer Program, Proposition 1B-Goods Movement Program, or Community Air Protection Incentives 2019 Guidelines approved by CARB
- Zero-emission charging infrastructure for medium- and heavy-duty vehicle infrastructure
- Stationary source projects that meet the specified eligibility requirements
Similar to Year 2 CAPP Incentives, Year 3 CAPP Incentive projects that reduce emissions must result in reductions above and beyond those required by law or regulation. The funds will be targeted with a priority for emissions reductions in communities most impacted by cumulative pollution burden, and a focus on vehicles, equipment and infrastructure that operate in and around any AB 617 community selected by CARB or under consideration for future selection. The incentive funds are expected to meet or exceed the statewide targets for benefits to priority communities including no less than 70% of the funds for projects in SB 535 communities
and 80% of funds for projects in AB 1550 communities.
For Year 3 CAPP Incentives, the South Coast AQMD was granted $79,431,606, including 6.25% for administrative costs. In March 2020, the South Coast AQMD released a Program Announcement (PA) to solicit eligible projects under the Carl Moyer Program and CAPP. The South Coast AQMD continues to receive more funding requests than available funding, including both the Carl Moyer Program and Year 3 CAPP incentive funds. Due to COVID-19 and efforts to protect public safety, the South Coast AQMD conducted virtual outreach for this PA in 2020, with pre-recorded webcasts and email blasts to the public.
