Introduction to Carl Moyer Fleet Modernization Program
The South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) is pleased to announce a funding opportunity for heavy-duty on-road truck fleet modernization in the South Coast Air Basin under the Carl Moyer program. This program is designed to assist truck owners/operators to replace pre-1990 heavy-duty diesel trucks (Class 7 and 8) with Model Year 2007 or newer diesel-fueled trucks or natural gas-fueled trucks.  Applications are being accepted now, and projects will be funded on a first-come first-served basis if all program requirements are met.

Program Requirements
This program will assist truck owners/operators to replace pre-1990 heavy-duty Class 7 and 8 diesel-fueled trucks with Model Year 2007 or newer diesel-fueled and natural gas-fueled trucks in the South Coast Air Basin. The trucks must have a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 26,001 pounds or greater. If a project qualifies under this program, the older pre-1990 truck must be destroyed. This program is open to both single owner/operator and fleet owner/operator. Only fleets with three or less trucks are eligible for funding.  This program will only fund up to 80% of the cost of the new replacement truck.  AQMD approved global positioning system (GPS) electronic monitoring unit (EMU) must be installed on all replacement trucks. AQMD will cover the cost of GPS-EMUs. The funding limit for the new truck shall not exceed $90,000. 

AQMD will not cover the cost of fueling infrastructure. The trucks must operate in the South Coast Air Basin for at least 75% of the total annual operating time for a minimum of three years. Owner/operators must disclose their vocation and stay in the same vocation for 85% of the time for a period of at least three years. 

Funding
The total funding for this program under this Program Announcement is $6 million.

Proposal Evaluation
If all program requirements are met in accordance with Program Announcement #PA 2008-08, projects will be funded on a first-come first-served basis.

When is the Project Completion Deadline?
All replacement trucks must be delivered and in operation by December 31, 2009.

Important requirement
Applicants must be in compliance with all CARB On-Road Regulations.  For more information check the following link:  http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/mobile.htm
