California Air Resources Board

Summary

Directs CARB to establish a program administered by California Pollution Control Financing Authority (CPCFA), to make financing tools and nonfinancial support tools available to the operators of medium- and heavy-duty vehicle fleets, to enable those operators to transition their fleets to zero-emission vehicles. Such direction includes developing and designing financing tools (e.g., grants, vouchers) and non-financial support tools (e.g., calculators, outreach), setting program criteria and prioritization for funding, defining success metrics, and collecting and compiling data about deployment of funding. Seventy-five percent of the funds must be deployed in priority areas defined in the bill, and the financing tools and non-financial supports must be accessible to fleets by January 1, 2023.
