Rule 2202
Air Quality Investment Program

 

Background

Rule 2202 - On-Road Motor Vehicle Mitigation Options provides employers with a menu  of flexible and cost effective options from which they can choose to implement to comply with the rule. One of the options available to employers is the Air Quality Investment Program (AQIP). An employer may elect to participate in this program by investing annually $60 per employee or triennially $125 per employee into an SCAQMD administered restricted fund. Monies collected in this restricted fund will be used by the SCAQMD to fund proposals that reduce emissions equivalent to an emission reduction target (ERT) based on the level of employer participation in the AQIP.

Purpose

The SCAQMD is seeking proposals to be funded by monies from the AQIP. Proposals will be accepted by the SCAQMD on an ongoing basis. Contracts will be awarded on a semi-annual basis. Proposals should demonstrate that emission reductions/air quality improvements are real, surplus, quantifiable, and contain appropriate methodologies.

The Request for Proposals (RFP) is to solicit cost-effective projects. Some of the projects that could be considered to receive funding may include the procurement of low or zero emission vehicles; implementation of remote sensing; old vehicle scrapping; the creation or improvement of localized demand responsive, mobility enhancing services, such as shuttle services; and others.
