Clean Mobility Options Regional Pilot Project
California Vanpool Authority | Agricultural Worker Vanpools Pilot Project
Project Details
The Agricultural Worker Vanpools Pilot Project’s grant term was from June 2018 to March 2021. The project provided safe, convenient, and reliable transportation for agricultural workers living in disadvantaged agricultural areas around the state. The project achieved emission reduction benefits through the deployment of 154 lower-emission hybrid technology passenger vans - displacing the use of single-passenger vehicles. The majority of vans were deployed in the San Joaquin Valley (75 percent), with remaining vans serving the Coachella, Salinas and Imperial Valleys.
