C.A.R.B. Voucher Incentive Program - Overview (VIP) - Download latest VIP app form >

The Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Attainment Program on-road heavy-duty vehicle Voucher Incentive Program (VIP) provides a streamlined approach to replace old, high-polluting vehicles with newer, lower-emission vehicles. VIP provides real emission benefits by retiring older, high polluting vehicles earlier than would have occurred through normal attrition or regulation. Funds
for VIP projects are used to offset some of the cost of the lower-emission replacement vehicle.

Small fleet owners that operate vehicles with 1993 or older model year diesel engines in California, 75% of the time, may be eligible for this funding, towards the purchase of a vehicle that has a 2007 or newer diesel engine.
