Background

California Climate Investments and Low Carbon Transportation Funding: The Low Carbon Transportation program is part of California Climate Investments, a statewide program that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy and improving public health and the environment, particularly in disadvantaged communities. CARB’s Low Carbon Transportation Program is designed to accelerate the transition to low carbon freight and passenger transportation with a priority on providing health and economic benefits to California’s most disadvantaged communities. These investments also reduce ozone precursor emissions and toxic diesel particulate emissions, supporting the State’s goals in these areas.

The Air Quality Improvement Program (AQIP) was established by the California Alternative and Renewable Fuel, Vehicle Technology, Clean Air, and Carbon Reduction Act of 2007 (AB 118, Statutes of 2007, Chapter 750). Each year, the legislature appropriates funding to CARB for these incentives to reduce emissions and support advanced technology demonstrations and deployments.

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and California Energy Commission (CEC), invite you to participate in a public work group meeting to discuss the implementation of incentives for zero-emission public school buses and supporting infrastructure made available by Senate Bill 114 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, Chapter 48, Statutes of 2023). SB 114 appropriated a total of $500 million to CARB and CEC for the 2023-24 fiscal year to fund zero-emission school buses and supporting infrastructure through grants awarded to local educational agencies. CARB and CEC have named this new funding opportunity “Zero-Emission School Bus and Infrastructure” (ZESBI) grants. At this work group meeting, staff will discuss legislative requirements, application timeline, award amounts, eligible costs, and priority applicants. Staff encourage the public to participate in the work group and provide feedback on program design prior to the ZESBI grant program’s application launch. The presentation will be posted to the Low Carbon Transportation Investments and Air Quality Improvement Program website and CEC’s Zero Emission School Bus and Infrastructure Program webpage ahead of the meeting.

Background

SB 114

Senate Bill 114, which amended Section 121 of Assembly Bill 181 (Committee on Budget, Chapter 52, Statutes of 2022), appropriated a total of $500 million to CARB and CEC for the 2023-24 fiscal year to fund zero-emission school buses and supporting infrastructure through grants awarded to local educational agencies. The intent of the funding is to replace heavy-duty internal combustion school buses, owned by local educational agencies, with zero-emission school buses and support the transition by complementing vehicle investments with infrastructure funding. Of the $500 million, $375 million in incentives will be awarded through CARB’s Clean Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) for zero-emission school buses and $125 million will be awarded to local educational agencies through CEC’s Zero-Emission School Bus Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Block Grant for charging or fueling stations and related activities, including, but not limited to, equipment, site design, construction, related infrastructure upgrades, and workforce development and training. The ZESBI block grant will be recommended for award and approval at the CEC’s Abril Business Meeting.

HVIP

The incentives for the procurement of zero-emission school buses for local educational agencies will be administered through HVIP. HVIP is the cornerstone of CARB’s advanced technology heavy-duty incentives, providing funding since 2010 to support the long-term transition to zero-emission trucks and buses. For more information about HVIP, please visit californiahvip.org.
