FINANCIAL INCENTIVE PROGRAM FOR SURPLUS EMISSION REDUCTIONS
 The Air Resources Board (Air Board) proposes to spend $48.7 million from the Air Quality Improvement Fund on a one-time basis to fund financing programs, including loans and loan guarantees to assist heavy-duty mobile pollution source fleets affected by the Air Board's new emission control rules. The financing program is intended to leverage state funding at a ratio of seven to one. The program will facilitate early action on regulatory compliance, ensuring critical emission reductions are achieved in an expedited manner.
