Approximately $16 million is available for the FY 2009-10 AB 2766 Discretionary Fund Work Program, including projected revenue and interest, carryover and turnback funds. At its September 10, 2009, the MSRC considered recommendations from the MSRC-TAC and its subcommittees and approved additional funding augmentations and elements for its FY 2009-10 Work Program, as follows:

• Alternative Fuel School Bus Program for $2,000,000
  Private Pupil Transportation Providers*
• Fund FY 2008-09 Local Government Match $2,774,840
  Program Primary Backup List*
• Fund FY 2008-09 Local Government Match
  Program Secondary Backup List $3,575,000
• Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Program $3,150,000
• Local Government Match Program (new) $2,000,000
• 0.2 g Non-FEL Alt Fuel On-Road Engines $2,350,000
• Telework Program $150,000

Total $15,998,840

*The first two work program elements were approved by the AQMD Board on September 11, 2009.

Solicitations for infrastructure, local government match, 0.2 g engines and a telework program will be considered by the MSRC at a future meeting. Concurrently, the MSRC will also consider approval of projects in ranked order on the FY 2008-09 Local Government Match Program secondary back up list, which includes project requests totaling $5.2 million. MSRC staff is currently verifying with the cities and counties that these local match projects remain viable and haven’t been funded under other solicitations, such as the Moyer Program or calls for projects resulting from stimulus funding. Additional FY 2009-10 Work Program awards and solicitations for release will be considered by the AQMD Board in the near future.
