Scope: Zero and near-zero emission transportation technologies such as electric and hybrid electric vehicles are critical element in California’s strategy in achieving energy security and in reducing emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants.  Given higher incremental costs of these technologies as a potential barrier for early adoption, it is important to provide funding incentives to cover the incremental costs.  In this context, South Coast Air Quality Management District, in collaboration with state agencies such as California Air Resources Board, has implemented various incentive programs to promote voluntary early adoption of advanced low carbon transportation technologies.  Funding sources for such programs ranges from bond sales to automobile registrations and smog check certifications.  Studies to develop additional incentive funding programs and identify potential funding sources for currently available electric and hybrid electric vehicle technologies would enhance adoption rate of these technologies.
