Technology Implementation

Technology Implementation

As part of the Office of Science and Technology Advancement, the technology implementation section’s role is to encourage the immediate use of commercially available, low-emission mobile and stationary technologies.  The incentive programs, which include incremental funding or subsidies, are designed to promote voluntary introduction of new technologies on an accelerated schedule.  This also provides manufacturers with justification to gear up for mass production of the cleaner technologies.  Programs that are administered under this section include:

• The Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program

• Lower-Emission School Bus Program

• MSERC & Area Source Credit Programs

• Prop 1B Funding for Reducing Emissions from Goods Movement

• RECLAIM Executive Officer Emissions Mitigation Program

• Rule 2202 Air Quality Investment Program (AQIP)

• "SOON" Program Funding for Clean-up of Off-Road Diesel Vehicles

In addition, the technology implementation section works closely with the Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee's Discretionary Funds (MSRC) to supplement the potential emission reductions from the early introduction of new technology. 

The incentive programs are designed to allow for voluntary introduction of new technologies.
