The $17 million program focuses on the needs of smaller groups and communities to provide clean mobility solutions that include car- bike- or scooter-sharing projects and subsidies for transit or car-hailing companies

April 23, 2019

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) recently announced a new statewide program that will make it easier for communities to get funding for clean mobility projects, reporting that it will allow smaller groups and communities of concern that may not have the resources available to access funds for clean transportation choices. The $17 million program focuses on the needs of those communities to provide clean mobility solutions that include car- bike- or scooter-sharing projects and subsidies for transit or car-hailing companies.

Awarded to CALSTART and managed by CALSTART (a nonprofit organization working with businesses and governments to develop clean, efficient transportation solutions) and the Shared-Use Mobility Center in partnership with GRID Alternatives and the Local Government Commission, projects also aim to address getting residents to and from their homes and local transit stops. The program’s managers will provide applicants with technical assistance and community outreach.
