Background

The FY 2021-22 Funding Plan established ISEF as a set aside within the Clean Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP). HVIP offers point-of-sale discounts for zero-emission trucks and buses statewide. HVIP 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 overburdened communities. These investments 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. Since its inception, over 60 percent of awarded HVIP funding has benefited disadvantaged and low-income communities.

The ISEF set-aside is designed to allocate vouchers towards small fleets (California companies with 20 or fewer vehicles operating in California and less than $15 million in annual revenue) including individual owner/operators making the transition to zero-emission vehicles. It is intended to pilot innovative mechanisms such as all-inclusive leases, peer-to-peer vehicle sharing, truck-as-a-service, assistance with infrastructure, and individual owner planning assistance, as well as other mechanisms.

The FY 2023-24 Funding Plan, approved by the Board on noviembre 17, 2023, allocated $14.3 million to ISEF.
