This program provides funding for the replacement of Class 5-8 diesel trucks (engine model year 2009 and older) with cleaner technology options including zero emission, optional low NOx, hybrid and natural gas. The replacement trucks must be new and equipped with an engine model year of 2019 or newer. Funding is also available for truck engine repowers, however this option is for small fleets only.

Funding is also available for infrastructure, including electric charging stations, hydrogen fueling units, and electrification infrastructure at a truck stop, rail yard or other freight facility. You may submit your Proposition 1B – Goods Movement application on-line.

Caltrans is looking for 150 volunteers for continued research on a road user charge as an alternative to the state gas tax. The California Road Charge Phased Demonstration will first explore how drivers could be charged for the miles they travel rather than the gasoline they use by testing a user-friendly pay-at-the-pump and electric vehicle charging station system, or through a usage-based insurance approach. Participants will be eligible to receive up to $100 in incentives each for their time and feedback. | Learn more
