Background:  California voters approved $1 billion in bond funding under Proposition 1B in 2006.  The Proposition 1B:  Goods Movement Emission Reduction Program is a partnership between the ARB and local agencies (like air districts and ports) to reduce air pollution emissions and health risk from freight movement along California’s trade corridors.  ARB provides funding to eligible agencies; those agencies then offer financial incentives to owners of equipment used in freight movement to upgrade to cleaner technologies prior to regulatory requirements.
