MSRC FYs 2012-14Work Program Presentation to Coachella Valley Clean Cities July 2013
In 1990, the legislature authorized collection of $4 per vehicle surcharge Revenues directed toward reduction of motor vehicle pollution Within SCAQMD, 40% of fees collected are subvened to cities and counties 30% are allocated by the Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC) Approximately $14 million in Clean Transportation Funding from MSRC distributed annually Funding Investments in Clean Air
“Snapshot” of the MSRC Work Program Development Process • Work Program development kicks off with joint MSRC/MSRC-TAC Retreat • MSRC approves Work Program categories and directs MSRC-TAC to develop solicitation materials/evaluation criteria, as needed • MSRC approves solicitation materials and sends to AQMD Board for approval • MSRC-TAC reviews, scores, and ranks projects; forwards recommended project list to MSRC • MSRC deliberates onproposed work program and approves awards • MSRC forwards final work program to AQMD Governing Board for approval/disapproval
Local Government Match Program Implemented in Two Waves… Recommended Program Structure: Consistent with previous Local Match categories (Alt-Fuel Infrastructure, EV Infrastructure, Medium & Heavy-Duty Vehicles, & Street Sweeping in the Coachella Valley) Addition of Bicycle Programs Category (including but not limited to bike lanes, etc.)
Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Program • Retains Key Features of Most Recent Infrastructure Program: • Broad based incentive “matrix” offers something for almost every entity – public/private, new & expanded, etc. • Sliding scale for public versus private entity, multiple fuels & public accessibility • Increases funding increment for L/CNG station construction
On-Road Vehicle Programs • Incentives for New Alternative Fuel School Bus Acquisitions • “Per bus” incentive levels will be lowered to reflect actual incremental costs • Incentives for the Purchase of “Zero-Emission” & “Near Zero” Emission Medium Heavy-Duty Trucks • Provide incentives for the purchase of zero & “near-zero” emission trucks in the 14,001 – 26,000 pound GVWR weight categories. • Near Zero Vehicle Purchases will be Required to Demonstrate the Early Retirement (i.e., scrapping) of Older Diesel or Gasoline Vehicles in Order to Qualify for an MSRC Incentive. • Scrapping Requirement would not be Applicable to the Purchase of New Zero-Emission Vehicles
Off-Road Vehicle Programs • Advanced Low-emission Off-road Construction Equipment Technologies • Potential to partner with the California Air Resources Board AQIP Advanced Technology Demonstration Program • Off-road Construction Equipment Technologies include, but are not Limited to, Hybrid-Electric, Hybrid-Hydraulic, & Zero-Emission Off-Road Equipment • Zero-Emission Ground Support Equipment at Major Airports (eGSE) • Provide incentives to Airlines & Cargo Handling Facilities at Major Southland Airports to Acquire Zero-Emission Ground Support Equipment, Primarily Battery Electric (eGSE), & install Charging Infrastructure on the Airfield
Off-Road Vehicle Programs, cont. • Zero-Emission Cargo Handling Equipment for Goods Movement • Provide incentives to marine terminal operators & distribution facility operators to purchase zero-emission cargo handling equipment • Opportunity to partner with SCAQMD & potentially ARB in the electrification of rubber-tired gantry cranes (eRTGs).
Transportation Control Measures Programs • Event Center category already “on the street” • Signal Synchronization Program • Partner with Transportation Commissions, Local Governments to implement signal synchronization projects • Goal is to leverage other sources of funding – Measure funding, CMAQ, etc. • “First Mile-Last Mile” Transportation Options at Transit Centers (with a Bicycle Focus) • Addresses public transit users, especially rail, & offers options for commute end transportation • Works at “both ends” of a commute – scale of facilities may differ depending on need
Next Steps • Several solicitations anticipated to be released in September 2013 • Visit website for more information on RFPs and to sign up for automatic notifications of funding opportunities www.CleanTransportationFunding.org
