CARB funds planning, clean transportation, and supporting projects for multiple grantees across the state through the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Planning and Capacity Building (Planning), Clean Mobility in Schools (CMIS), and the Sustainable Transportation Equity Project (STEP) Request for Applications (RFA). CARB has previously awarded a total of $77.2 million to these projects.
The Request for Applications (RFA) opened on July 24, 2023 and closed on November 3, 2023. The RFA was a two-phase process. Applicants must have applied to the Concept Phase to be eligible for the Full Phase. Applications were reviewed for eligibility and then scored with mobility applications scored together for CMIS and STEP funding and Planning applications scored separately.
