7. How the funding works
Funds in
• A small fee on motor vehicle and boat
registrations, and new tires funds
three programs:
 Alternative and Renewable Fuel
and Vehicle Technology Program
(ARFTVP or AB118/AB8)
 Air Quality Improvement Program
(AQIP)
 Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality
Standards Attainment Program
(Carl Moyer)
• Local air districts can impose
additional vehicle registration
surcharges to augment state funding
in the three programs
Funds out
• AQIP and Carl Moyer
 Voluntary vehicle replacement
(rebates and incentives)
