Incentives Program Oversight
About
Under state law, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) has the authority and oversight responsibility to monitor the implementation of California's incentive programs by local districts, non-profit grantees, and other entities as specified in the past and present CARB Funding Plans. Incentive programs include but are not limited to the Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment (Carl Moyer) Program, Community Air Protection (CAP) Program, Funding Agricultural Replacement Measures for Emission Reductions (FARMER) Program, Lower Emission School Bus (School Bus) Program, Air Quality Improvement Program (AQIP), and Proposition 1B: Goods Movement Emission Reduction (Goods Movement) Program.
CARB staff oversees the implementation of these incentive programs through a comprehensive review process, working closely with district and other CARB program staff. In recent years, third-party auditors have taken on a more significant role in ensuring fiscal and program compliance. These independent auditors conduct audits or reviews and issue separate reports on their findings and methods. In addition to CARB's policies and procedures, Grant Agreement Terms and Conditions, guidelines, and other documents are sometimes used for program administration. This page includes links to CARB's policies and procedures for incentive program reviews, as well as reports, responses for completed reviews, and related reports from State auditing agencies and third-party auditors.
