Frequently Asked Questions

What is the AB2766 program?

Assembly Bill 2766 was adopted in 1990 to provide revenue to reduce air pollution from motor vehicles and for related planning monitoring, enforcement and technical studies.

How is the AB2766 program funded?

State law authorizes the Department of Motor Vehicles to collect a registration surcharge of $4 per vehicle to fund the AB2766 program.

What portion of the motor vehicle registration fees are returned to the cities and counties?

Forty percent of the AB2766 fund (approximately $18.6 million in the South Coast Air Basin) is returned to the cities and counties to fund transportation-related projects that reduce air pollution.

How is the AB2766 money distributed to cities and counties in the South Coast?

AB2766 revenue is distributed by the AQMD on a quarterly basis to cities and counties in the South Coast Air Basin based on their prorated share of the population.

Are there guidelines that describe how local jurisdictions can spend AB2766 money?

Projects that are funded with AB2766 funds must meet the criteria and guidelines in the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) Criteria & Guidelines document and the SCAQMD’s Resource Guide.

How do the cities and counties obtain the Criteria & Guidelines, Resource Guide and reporting forms?

Each year, the AQMD mails the reporting forms, software and reference materials that are necessary to satisfy all AB2766 implementation and reporting requirements. Materials are also available upon request.

How are cities and counties held accountable for appropriate use of AB2766 funds?

Annual reports on the use of the funds and the results of programs must be submitted to the AQMD by the 1st Friday each February.  The AQMD contracts with an independent firm to conduct random audits of AB2766 expenditures.  The audits are performed every two years.

Can the AB2766 annual report be submitted electronically?

Local jurisdictions are encouraged to submit the annual report electronically.  Prior to the due date for the report, the AQMD will offer training classes on the AB2766 reporting software.

Is technical assistance available?

Listed above is the AQMD staff available to provide technical guidance on all aspects of the AB2766 program.

How does the AQMD use the annual report data submitted by cities and counties?

The AQMD compiles all program and financial information and prepares an annual report for CARB that outlines the regional benefits and effectiveness of the program.
