immediate use of commercially available, low-emission mobile and
stationary technologies. The incentive programs, which include
incremental funding or subsidies, are designed to promote voluntary
introduction of new technologies on an accelerated schedule.
This also provides manufacturers with justification to gear up for
mass production of the cleaner technologies. Programs include:

Old Vehicle Scrapping
Program
This is a voluntary program developed to encourage vehicle
owners to retire older, higher-emitting vehicles in order to reduce
the amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), nitrogen oxides (NOx),
carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter (PM) in the air we
breathe. Under the program, older, polluting cars are removed from
roadways, that would otherwise be driven in the South Coast Air
Quality Management District (AQMD) for 3 or more years if they were
not scrapped.

Voucher Incentive Program
The Carl Moyer Program provides incentive funds to help pay for the
incremental cost of purchasing cleaner than required engines, vehicles
and/or equipment. The On-Road Heavy-Duty Vehicle Voucher Incentive
Program (VIP) allows truck dealers to provide a discount to
owners/operators to offset the purchase cost of a newer, low-emitting
truck. The VIP is intended to result in the accelerated turnover of
older high-polluting heavy-duty vehicles with newer, low-emission
vehicles providing real emission reductions above those that would
otherwise occur through normal attrition.
