FRESNO – (INT) - The California Air Resources Board adopted a revised funding plan for proceeds from the cap-and-trade program. It includes putting more clean vehicles in disadvantaged communities.

The investments range from supporting increased numbers of zero-emission heavy-duty trucks and buses to rebates for low- and zero-emission passenger vehicles.

"The investment of $360 million from our cap-and-trade program for these low-carbon transportation projects will continue to drive the market for new technologies, and put more ultra-clean and zero-emission trucks, buses and cars into the communities throughout California that need them the most," CARB Chair Mary D. Nichols said.
