How much money is available for different types of projects?
Over 12 million dollars will be available to Bay Area businesses in 2008. Carl Moyer Program dollars are awarded on a competitive basis. Historically, the grants have gone to projects that involve older engines with high annual mileage, fuel use or operating hours. What is considered an older or high annual mileage engine will vary depending on engine application (e.g. marine, on-road, off-road, etc). Projects are weighted based on the emissions reduced. As older engines tend to be higher polluters, these are generally more competitive projects.
