CARB to Address FY 2023-24 Funding Plan for Clean Transportation Incentives Nov. 16

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) will hold a public meeting at
9 a.m. on Thursday, November 16, 2023 to consider approval of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 Funding Plan for Clean Transportation Incentives.

The Plan establishes CARB’s priorities, policies, and implementation details for a suite of projects, including the Clean Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP).

The Plan includes an allocation of over $400 million for school buses, small truck fleets, and drayage trucks to be administered by HVIP. Over $500 million is available now for new voucher requests across all vehicle types and fleets, updated daily at www.CaliforniaHVIP.org/Funding.

Drayage Truck Funding from
Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to Stack with HVIP Now Available

Starting November 14, 2023, $60 million provided by the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach is now available for voucher requests for zero-emission Class 8 tractors performing drayage operations through HVIP.

Voucher enhancements funded by the Ports are $100,000 per truck for fleets size 10 and smaller and $75,000 for fleets larger than 10, additional to the HVIP drayage voucher amount of $150,000 per truck and any other applicable HVIP voucher enhancements listed on californiahvip.org/funding. Purchaser qualifications are as defined in the HVIP Implementation Manual. ​​​​

Important note: In order to align with near-term policy changes anticipated from the CARB Funding Plan that would alter fleet size eligibility and voucher amounts, requests for port funding submitted on 11/14, 11,15, or 11/16 by fleets size 20 and smaller will retain their place in line and advance to the status of Accepted Pending Signed Forms in the Online Voucher Processing Center after 11/17. Additional information will be provided to affected dealers and purchasers. 

Please note: The remaining Drayage Truck Funding from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach is reserved for new voucher request submissions. After extensive outreach, the window to plus up existing vouchers in queue that have not yet been delivered closed on March 1, 2024. However, if you believe that your voucher was missed, please reach out to [email protected].
