Carl
Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program
Call
for Year 10 Project Applications - Closed
The Carl Moyer
Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program (Carl Moyer Program)
is a voluntary program that offers grants to owners of heavy-duty vehicles
and equipment. The program is a partnership between the California Air
Resources Board (ARB) and the local air districts throughout the state. Locally
the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (Air District) administers
the Carl Moyer program. The purpose of the program is to reduce air pollution
emissions from heavy-duty engines. Grants are available for projects that:
- install particle traps,
- replace older heavy-duty engines with newer and cleaner engines and
add a particle trap,
- purchase new vehicles or equipment that is cleaner than the law requires,
- replace heavy-duty equipment with electric equipment, and
- install electric idling-reduction equipment.
Grants cannot
be used for projects that are required by law or by a contract or agreement;
however, they can be applied to projects that comply at least three years
in advance of state regulations. All vehicles and equipment funded with
a grant must operate within the Air Di strict’s boundaries.
The District is
accepting applications for projects throughout its jurisdiction, but will
prioritize projects that reduce emissions in impacted
communities. Highest priority will be given to the following six
highly impacted communities:
- Eastern San Francisco
- West Oakland
- East Oakland/San Leandro
- Richmond
- San Jose
- Concord
A
map of the impacted communities can be found below under the documents
section. The
following counties are part of the Air District's jurisdiction: Alameda,
Contra Costa, Marin, San Mate o, San Francisco, Santa Clara, and
Napa counties. The southern portions of Solano and Sonoma counties are
also part of the Air District.
For a general
overview of the Carl Moyer Program, refer to the program fact sheets in
English or Spanish. For specific details on the Carl Moyer Program refer
to the California Air Resources Board (ARB) Carl Moyer program Guidelines.
The District will be soliciting projects for the current Moyer funding
cycle according to the schedule found in Table 1. Table
2 lists specific information about Application Workshops, and Table 3
lists Other Events where Carl Moyer Program staff people will be able
