| | | | | | | | SUMMARY
The State of California has allocated over $65 million to fund incentive programs to reduce emissions from heavy-duty diesel engines. The Carl Moyer Program is designed to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by providing grants that cover the differential cost of cleaner on-road, off-road, marine, locomotive, stationary pump, forklift and airport ground-support equipment engines. The District currently has approximately $134,500 of Year 18 funds remaining as authorized by Air Pollution Control Board Resolution No. 2016-02 and Air Pollution Control Board Resolution No. 2016-01 to conduct the Carl Moyer Off-Road Voucher Incentive Program. The Off-Road Voucher Incentive Program provides financial incentives up to $60,000 per voucher for the trade-in of old tier zero construction and agricultural tractors for new low emitting tractors. Both the Team Power and Pape Machinery Agreements are renewals of existing Agreements. |

The Board may choose to do one of the following: 1) not authorize signing of the proposed Agreements; or 2) modify the proposed Agreements. |
