Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment
Program
Up to
$20 million in Carl Moyer Year 11 funding available
Applications currently being accepted!
Projects will be selected for funding on a first-come,
first-served basis based on the date the application is deemed complete
by Bay Area Air Quality Management District (Air District) staff. Applications
will be accepted until all funds have been allocated.
The Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards
Attainment Program (Carl Moyer Program) is a voluntary program that offers
grants to owners of heavy-duty vehicles and equipment. The program is
a partnership between the California Air Resources Board (ARB) and the
local air districts throughout the state. Locally, the Air District administers
the Carl Moyer program. The purpose of the program is to reduce air pollution
emissions from heavy-duty engines. Grants are available for projects that:
- install particulate traps,
- replace older heavy-duty engines with newer and cleaner engines and
add a particulate trap,
- purchase new vehicles or equipment that is cleaner than the law requires,
- replace heavy-duty equipment with electric equipment, and
- install electric idling-reduction equipment.
Grants cannot
be used for projects that are required by law or by a contract or agreement;
however, they can be applied to projects that comply at least three years
in advance of state regulations. All vehicles and equipment funded with
a grant must operate within the Air District’s boundaries.
The Air District
is accepting applications for projects throughout its jurisdiction, but
will prioritize projects that reduce emissions in impacted communities.
Highest priority will be given tothe following six highly impacted communities:
- Concord
- Richmond/San Pablo
- Western Alameda County
- San Jose
- Redwood City/East Palo Alto
- Eastern San Francisco
A map of the
impacted communities can be found below under the documents section. The
following counties are part of the Air District's jurisdiction: Alameda,
Contra Costa, Marin, San Mateo, San Francisco, Santa Clara, and Napa counties.
The southern portions of Solano and Sonoma counties are also part of the
Air District.
For a general
overview of the Carl Moyer Program, refer to the program fact sheets.
For specific details on the Carl Moyer Program refer to the ARB Carl Moyer
program Guidelines. The Air District will be soliciting projects for the
current Moyer funding cycle according to the schedule found in Table 1.

are available to help off-road engine owners replace older engines
with newer and cleaner engines and install a particle trap retrofit
device. In some cases funds are available to purchase newer or electric
equipment that is cleaner than the law requires.
Provided
the project is not required by law, off-road diesel and large spark
motive engines with 25 horsepower or more are eligible
to apply. These engines are found in a variety of off-road applications
such as construction, mobile agriculture, airport ground support,
cargo handling and other industrial settings. Funding can cover
up to 85% of a Tier 3 engine repower and 100% of a verified retrofit
device. |
