Advanced Technology Demonstration and Pilot Projects
About
The purpose of the Advanced Technology Demonstration and Pilot Projects is to help accelerate the next generation of advanced technology vehicles, equipment, or emission controls which are not yet commercialized. Typically, local air districts, other public agencies, and California-based non-profit organizations would be eligible to apply for these projects to demonstrate promising technologies to reduce emissions. For more information regarding Advanced Technology Demonstration and Pilot Projects, see the Low Carbon Transportation and AQIP Funding Plans or contact Earl Landberg at (916)-287-0171.
All projects below have been funded from fiscal years 2014/15 through 2019/20 and are either located in or will benefit disadvantaged communities. For Low Carbon Transportation Investment projects, project titles are linked to web pages with more information on the project scope, location, information on partners and stakeholders, lessons learned and potential emission benefits. Solicitation materials for each project are available in the Grant Solicitations section. View Project Map
