Public Workshop on the FY2022-23 Funding Plan for Clean Transportation Incentives (7/21/2022)

The California Air Resources Board (CARB or Board) invites you to participate in the second public workshop on the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23 Funding Plan for Clean Transportation Incentives. The Draft FY 2022-23 Funding Plan will describe CARB’s portion of the multi-agency zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) package, as a part of the May revision to the Governor’s proposed 2022 State budget. The May revision to the Governor’s proposed budget includes a total of $6.1 billion over multiple years through FY 2025-26 to accelerate ZEV transportation, with a focus on the communities most impacted by pollution. This proposal builds upon the $3.9 billion multi-year commitment to ZEV acceleration approved in the 2021 Budget, for a total investment to $10 billion over 5 years to decarbonize California’s most polluting sector and improve public health. This funding will be administered by CARB, the California Energy Commission, the California State Transportation Agency, and Go-Biz.

In the Legislative version of the FY 2022-23 State Budget released in June 2022, the Legislature stated that it would approve the total new ZEV funding level of $6.1 billion proposed by the Governor, but it would defer considering the detailed program level appropriations until later in the 2022 Legislative session. Because the Legislature has not yet released its detailed proposal for program level appropriations, CARB staff will present the program level appropriations included in the May revision to the Governor’s proposed budget. This includes approximately $1.84 billion for Clean Transportation Incentives, which is comprised of funding that the Governor has proposed to accelerate into FY 2021-22 and funding for FY 2022-23. This year’s draft Funding Plan includes funding from the Cap-and-Trade Expenditure Plan, the General Fund, and the Air Quality Improvement Fund.

The workshop meeting will be held via Zoom webinar at the following date and time:

Date: Thursday, July 21, 2022
Time: 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (PT)
Location: Webinar/Teleconference

Please register for the Clean Transportation Incentives Funding Plan Workshop Webinar. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with information about how to join the webinar by computer or by telephone.

This meeting will be recorded. A link to the recording will be available two weeks after the meeting date on the Low Carbon Transportation Investments Meetings and Workshops page.

Purpose of Workshop

This is the second public workshop in a series of workshops and work group meetings on development of the FY 2022-23 Funding Plan for Clean Transportation Incentives. Staff will discuss and seek input on the options for expending CARB’s portion of the May revision to the Governor’s proposed FY 2022-23 budget, which includes approximately $1.84 billion in funding for Clean Transportation Incentives. These funds include a total of $925 million for clean transportation equity programs established under Senate Bill (SB) 1275, $890 million proposed for heavy-duty zero-emission programs, and $28.64 million for the Air Quality Improvement Program (AQIP) from the Air Quality Improvement Fund. Staff will also present and request input on potential refinements and policy recommendations for ongoing projects.

The workshop agenda is now available, and a presentation will be available one day in advance. In addition, the Draft FY 2022-23 Funding Plan for Clean Transportation Incentives outlining staffs’ initial proposals on project categories, funding allocations, and project criteria for this funding will be posted a one week prior to the workshop on CARB’s Low Carbon Transportation/AQIP website.

All interested stakeholders are invited to attend.
