43. CARB Proposition 1B Grant Agreements and Administrative Costs Update
    (No Written Material)
    Wallerstein (909) 396-3131
    (bwallerstein@aqmd.gov)
    The state recently reinstituted the Proposition 1B Goods Movement Program as funding became available through general obligation bonds. From these funds, the South Coast Air Basin is anticipated to receive $44 million for the Lower Emission School Bus Program, $2.5 million for Intermodal Railyards and $49 million for port drayage trucks. The original CARB award for port drayage trucks projects called for the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach to administer the local incentive program. The two ports and CARB now want to shift the Program administration to the AQMD. The current bond language, as interpreted by CARB staff, does not allow for reimbursement of any administrative costs incurred by the local air districts. Staff estimates the total administrative costs for these grants to be approximately $3.5 million. Although the situation remains fluid, staff believes it is important to update the Board and provide recommendations for Board consideration and possible action.
