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.
