Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program: used heavy-duty truck exchange.Existing law establishes the Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program, which is administered by the State Air Resources Board. The program authorizes the state board to provide grants to offset the incremental cost of eligible projects that reduce emissions from covered vehicular sources. The program also authorizes funding for a fueling infrastructure demonstration program and for technology development efforts that are expected to result in commercially available technologies in the near-term that would improve the ability of the program to achieve its goals.This bill bill, until January 1, 2025, would add as an eligible project under the program a used heavy-duty truck exchange, as specified.
