What projects are eligible for funding for this year's State Reserve Funds Solicitation?
State Reserve, as a subset of the Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program (Carl Moyer Program), annually provides funding for cleaner-than-required engines, equipment, and other sources of air pollution that have been determined to be in need. CARB reserves the sole authority to distribute State Reserve funding. Some of the past project types that have been funded with State Reserve funds are school bus replacement projects, log truck replacement via the Truck Improvement/Modernization Benefitting Emission Reduction (TIMBER) Program, off-road projects, and on-road heavy duty vehicles through the Carl Moyer On-Road Voucher Incentive Program (VIP).
