About
The Off-Road Voucher Incentive Program (ORVIP) provides a streamlined approach to reduce emissions by replacing existing, high-polluting equipment with newer and lower-emission equipment. The ORVIP provides real emission benefits by retiring the high-polluting equipment earlier than would have been expected through normal attrition or by regulation. Carl Moyer Program funds for voucher projects are used to offset part of the cost of the replacement equipment.
| Project | Description |
|---|---|
| New Equipment Replacement Purchase | The purchase of new equipment to replace the existing equipment that is to be scrapped. The new equipment must have an engine that meets the current California emission standards (Tier) or the current United States Environmental Protection Agency emission standards (Tier) if it is a federally preempted engine. |
