Get money from the Valley Air District to replace your older, high-polluting vehicle with a newer hybrid or electric vehicle. The program is limited to vehicle owners residing in the jurisdiction of the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District who meet the income and vehicle requirements.
The District Governing Board has approved updates to the DCSJ Replace Program which includes the eligibility of model year 2006 and older vehicles while also no longer requiring an emission failure.
The Valley Air District's Replace program is available to individuals whose household income is at or below 300 percent of federal poverty level (FPL). The table below indicates the funding available based on the type of vehicle you intend to purchase, your household income and whether you live in a Disadvantaged Community. The incentive calculator above can estimate your potential funding level.
