The Advanced Clean Cars II regulations, adopted in August 2022, include three environmental justice provisions that incentivize auto manufacturers to take certain actions to improve access to zero-emission vehicles in overburdened and lower-income communities. One of these mechanisms is for manufacturers to provide discounted 2024-2031 model-year zero-emission vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles for use in approved community-based clean mobility programs. See the Advanced Clean Cars II regulations for more details about the environmental justice values.

Approved community-based clean mobility programs must be one of the following:  

1. An approved grant recipient of the Clean Mobility Options Voucher Pilot Project
2. An approved grant recipient of the Sustainable Transportation Equity Project 
3. Determined by the Executive Officer to qualify as a community-based clean mobility program

Below is a list of currently approved Executive Orders for community-based clean mobility programs.
