Apply Now: Ventura County’s 2023 Air Quality Incentive Programs – Deadline June 23, 2023

XL Lifts is excited to announce that it is an authorized dealer for the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District’s Carl Moyer Program and associated air quality incentive grants. The District has just started accepting applications for Year 25 (2023), and approximately $6 million is expected to be available for new projects in Ventura County this year. 

California companies who upgrade their diesel forklifts and other heavy-duty equipment to lower-emission alternatives may be eligible for significant grant funding. 

About the Carl Moyer Program & Other Air Quality Incentive Grants 

The Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program (Carl Moyer Program) is an incentive program offered jointly by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and California’s local air districts. The program is named after the late Dr. Carl Moyer in recognition of his work in the air quality field and his efforts in bringing about this incentive program. Since 1999, the Carl Moyer Program has awarded over $57 million to businesses operating in Ventura County. The program provides grants for cleaner-than-required engines and equipment to help improve air quality in California. 

At their March 14, 2023 public meeting, the Ventura County Air Pollution Control Board approved 43 new Carl Moyer Program grants proposed by staff totaling $4,072,108. These grants will help owners of heavy-duty diesel equipment, such as forklifts, upgrade to new, lower-polluting equipment. Eligible projects include replacing diesel forklifts with new, lower-emission equipment or engines, and much more.

The District also administers two additional incentive programs with structures similar to the Carl Moyer Program:

1. Initiated in 2018, the Funding Agricultural Replacement Measures for Emission Reductions (FARMER) Program is a grant program developed by CARB to reduce agricultural sector emissions by providing grants, rebates, and other financial incentives for agricultural harvesting equipment, heavy-duty trucks, forklifts, tractors, and other equipment used in agricultural operations. 
2. The Community Air Protection (CAP) Incentive Program is another new grant program developed by CARB to reduce exposure in communities most impacted by air pollution.

How to Apply for the Carl Moyer Program

The District will begin taking applications for the 2023 Air Quality Incentive Programs starting on April 7, 2023. The application period will close on June 23, 2023, at 5 PM. The District has prepared application forms that can be found at their website, here.

XL Lifts is proud to be an authorized dealer for the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District’s Carl Moyer Program and associated air quality incentive grants. We believe that the program will help improve air quality in California and benefit our customers by providing grants for cleaner-than-required engines and equipment. 

We encourage our customers to take advantage of this opportunity and apply for the grants. Please contact us for more information on how to apply for the grants and how we can assist you in upgrading to new, lower-polluting equipment.
