The [highlight style=”default”]Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program[/highlight] (Carl Moyer Program) provides grant funding for cleaner-than-required engines and equipment. Private companies and public agencies may apply. Local air districts administer these grants and select which projects to fund. ARB works collaboratively with the districts and other stakeholders to set Guidelines and ensure the Program reduces pollution and provides cleaner air for Californians. The Carl Moyer Program achieves reductions in emissions of key pollutants which are necessary for California to meet its clean air commitments under regulatory requirements. Eligible projects include cleaner on-road, off-road, marine, locomotive, lawn & garden, light duty passenger vehicles being scrapped and agricultural equipment.
