California Energy Commission rolls out second round of
Transit Set-Aside Lane funding

The California Energy Commission’s Energy Infrastructure Incentives for Zero-Emission Commercial Vehicles (EnergIIZE) Project is launching its second round of Transit Set-Aside Lane funding, open now through Q1 2025. Administered by CALSTART and partner Tetra Tech, the Transit Set-Aside Lane will award up to $15 million in incentives for the deployment of zero-emission vehicle charging and hydrogen refueling infrastructure. It is intended to benefit California transit fleets, Tribes and others.

“We are excited to reopen this opportunity for transit agencies and thank CARB for their ongoing support and collaboration,” said Tesi Bravo, deputy director, Commercial Clean Transportation Infrastructure, CALSTART. “We hope that California transit fleets continue to find value in this program and help spread the word about EnergIIZE funding opportunities.”
