The program is being funded by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and is willing to pay people up to $9,500 to trade in their vehicles.
San Francisco Bay Area residents will be able to receive up to $9,500 if they trade in their gas-burning vehicles for an electric or hybrid one, air quality officials said Wednesday.
Clean Cars for All will allow residents to"retire older vehicles and replace them with a new or used hybrid, plug-in hybrid, electric, or fuel cell vehicle, or get a transit card or e-bike," the statement continued."Additionally, up to $2,000 in funding is available for home-charging equipment and installation for purchasing a plug-in hybrid or electric vehicle."
Residents that qualify for the Clean Cars for All program will be able to replace any gas-burning vehicle with a variety of cleaner options to help them get around. These include electric, fuel cell and hybrid cars, as well as the option to purchase an electric bicycle or a transportation card that can be used throughout the Bay Area transit system.
"Not only is transportation the largest source of air pollution in the Bay Area, it accounts for 40% of our greenhouse gas emissions," Cindy Chavez, a Santa Clara County supervisor and chair of the air district board, told the"If we are going to be able to address this issue we have to include low-income communities."
