The California Air Resources Board (CARB) approved $194.95 million for the Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Program (CORE) in the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Funding Plan for Clean Transportation Incentives in November 2021. CORE is intended to accelerate the adoption of cleaner, commercially available off-road technologies by providing a streamlined way for fleets ready to purchase specific zero-emission equipment. In addition to freight, this year CORE is expanding to include incentive funding for construction, agriculture, and professional landscaping equipment for small-business and sole proprietors. Legislatively, $30 million was dedicated to support small businesses and sole-proprietors in purchasing zero-emission, commercial grade landscaping equipment.

On June 2, 2022, CARB staff will hold a public work group meeting to further discuss development of CORE as it pertains to the $30 million to support small businesses and sole-proprietors in purchasing zero-emission, commercial grade landscaping equipment.
