The plan describes proposed investments from two related funding sources: the Low Carbon Transportation Program funded with Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds and the Air Quality Improvement Program. These programs provide incentives for clean vehicle and equipment projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution with a priority on benefiting disadvantaged and low-income communities and low-income households.
