The Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program (Moyer Program or program) is a grant program that funds the incremental cost of cleaner-than-required engines, equipment, and other sources of air pollution. Since 1998, the Moyer Program has been successful in reducing smog-forming and toxic emissions cost-effectively. Although air pollution regulations have significantly reduced emissions and improved air quality across the State, many areas of California continue to experience unhealthy air. The Moyer Program complements California’s regulatory program by providing incentives to obtain early or extra emission reductions, especially from emission sources in minority and low-income communities and areas disproportionately impacted by air pollution. Incentives encourage customers to purchase cleaner technologies, and stimulate the marketplace to manufacture cleaner technologies. Although the Moyer Program has grown in scope, it retains its primary objective of obtaining cost-effective and surplus emission reductions to be credited toward California’s legally-enforceable obligations in the State Implementation Plan (SIP) – California’s road map for attaining health-based national ambient air quality standards.
The Moyer Program funds clean air projects involving a wide variety of vehicles and equipment. Typical project types include:
- Replacement. An older vehicle or piece of equipment that includes an engine with remaining useful life is replaced with a newer, cleaner vehicle or piece of equipment. On-road trucks and buses may be replaced through a fleet modernization contract or through a voucher incentive program (VIP). Off-road equipment also may be replaced under contract or through off-road VIP. In all cases, the older vehicles and equipment are scrapped.
- Repower. A newer, cleaner engine is installed in place of a higher-polluting engine in an existing vehicle or piece of equipment.
- Retrofit. An emission control system is added to an in-use engine, vehicle or piece of equipment.
- Vehicle Retirement (car scrap). Light duty scrap programs pay the owners of older, more polluting vehicles that still have remaining useful life to voluntarily retire those vehicles earlier than they would have otherwise.
- Infrastructure. Moyer funds provide for the installation of fueling or energy infrastructure to fuel or power covered sources. Though infrastructure does not directly deliver emission reductions, it enables the advanced clean vehicles and equipment that do.
The application period is April 15, 2022 until June 30, 2022.
