Year 5 and 6 CAPP Incentives

In 2020, CARB did not receive appropriation of funding for CAPP Incentives and thus, no funding was implemented by South Coast AQMD under Year 4 CAPP Incentives. However, in 2021 and 2022, SB 170 and AB 179 were signed by the Governor appropriating $260 million and $240 million statewide, respectively, for the continued support of AB 617 goals and objectives. These appropriated funds, considered as Years 5 and 6 CAPP Incentives, have been distributed by CARB to air districts for projects that are eligible under the following actions:

• Community-identified projects/programs in an approved Community Emissions Reduction Plan (CERP)
• Mobile source projects eligible through the Carl Moyer Program, Proposition 1B-Goods Movement Program, or Community Air Protection Incentives 2019 Guidelines approved by CARB
• Zero-emission charging infrastructure for medium- and heavy-duty vehicle infrastructure
• Stationary source projects that meet the specified eligibility requirements

For Years 5 and 6 CAPP Incentives, the South Coast AQMD was granted $98,799,786 and $91,199,803, respectively, including 6.25% for administrative costs.  Unlike the previous CAPP funding years, funds under Years 5 and 6 CAPP Incentives were combined under one program solicitation, which was released in December 2022 for eligible projects under the Carl Moyer Program and CAPP.  The funds will be targeted with a priority for emissions reductions in communities most impacted by cumulative pollution burden, and a focus on vehicles, equipment and infrastructure that operate in and around any AB 617 community selected by CARB or under consideration for future selection.  The incentive funds are expected to meet or exceed the statewide targets for benefits to priority communities including no less than 70% of the funds for projects in SB 535 communities and 80% of funds for projects in AB 1550 communities.

The South Coast AQMD continued to receive more funding requests than available funding, including both the Carl Moyer Program and Years 5 and 6 CAPP incentive funds.  South Coast AQMD conducted both in-person and vrtual outreach workshops for this Program Announcement in 2023 as well as pre-recorded webcasts, posted social media and sent email blasts to the public and stakeholders.
