MSRC FYs 2012-14Work Program

Presentation to Coachella Valley Clean CitiesJuly 2013

Funding Investments in Clean Air

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

“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 on proposed 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
