Proposition 1B: Goods Movement

Other Grant Programs

Program Overview

The Proposition 1B: Goods Movement Emission Reduction Program (GMERP) provides incentives to quickly reduce air pollution emissions and health risk from freight movement along California's trade corridors. Financial incentives will be provided to owners of equipment used in freight movement to upgrade to cleaner technologies through various options for trucks. Projects funded under this Program must achieve emission reductions not required by law or regulation. Please note that the Proposition 1B Goods Movement Emission Reduction Program is not a rebate program. Any purchase or installation prior to contract execution is ineligible. Please sign up for our Incentive Programs e-mail lists for notification of when the application period opens. For additional information please call the Heavy-Duty Engine Program Staff at (559) 230-5800.

Important Reminders

Do Not Purchase Equipment

Trucks and equipment funded by this program can only be purchased after contract is signed between the equipment owner and the District, and fully executed. New truck may be pre-ordered prior to contract execution and after posting of District rank list at the equipment owner's risk.

Keep Existing Truck Registered and in Operation

Maintain DMV registration and operable condition of the old truck until a contract is fully executed between the owner and the District and the truck has been relinquished to a District-approved dismantler.

Truck(s) must continue to move goods for sale (a majority of the time).

Stay Compliant

Register in ARB's Truck Regulation Upload, Compliance, and Reporting System (TRUCRS). Ensure fleet is compliant with requirements of the ARB Truck and Bus Regulation or applicable regulatory advisories for duration of incentive program participation. Retirement of existing truck included in application or the replacement truck being purchased cannot be used to demonstrate compliance for eligibility determinations.

Requesting Reduced Funding

Applicants may request reduced funding amounts to improve cost-effectiveness and competitiveness of the project.

New Equipment Operation

Projects committing to 90% operation in California may be less competitive due to decreased emission reductions achieved within California.
