Stacking Southern California Clean Truck Funding

Webinar Date: September 29, 2026 at 1:00pm ET / 10:00am PT

Listen to this article:

Southern California fleets have access to more than $500 million in clean heavy-duty truck funding through programs offered by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (South Coast AQMD), the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, and others. The biggest opportunity will come from knowing which programs can be stacked, and how to plan for them together.

Between now and early 2027, these agencies are running or preparing incentive programs with per-vehicle awards ranging from $100,000 – $400,000 depending on the fleet type and vehicle class. Each program has its own eligibility rules, scrappage requirements, application timelines, and restrictions, making it critical for fleets to understand how the programs fit together before committing to a funding strategy.

This webinar will focus on the art of stacking funding.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How funding programs can be stacked or combined and where program rules may limit or prevent stacking
  • Which programs work well together, based on vehicle type, fleet characteristics, location, and eligibility
  • How to build a funding strategy around multiple application windows, rather than applying to programs one at a time
  • Common stacking pitfalls, including overlapping costs, conflicting requirements, and rules that could make a project ineligible for another incentive
  • Q&A with funding specialists on program fit, stacking strategies, competitiveness, and timing
