Goods Movement Program

Replace diesel equipment with funding from the Goods Movement Program. This program aims to reduce air pollution from freight movement activities in California.

2025 Goods Movement Program

The Proposition 1B: Goods Movement Emission Reduction Program is a partnership between the California Air Resources Board, or CARB, and local agencies to quickly reduce diesel emissions and health risk from freight movement along California trade corridors. Projects funded under this program must achieve early or extra emission reductions not otherwise required by law or regulation.

The Air District administers the Goods Movement Program for the Bay Area. The program is currently closed. Please sign up on the Carl Moyer Notification List at the bottom of the page for notification of future Goods Movement Program and Carl Moyer Program equipment grant solicitations.

Coming Soon: Zero Emission Transport Refrigeration Units

The Air District is considering opening a solicitation for zero emission Transport Refrigeration Units, or TRUs.

Eligible projects will include the replacement of diesel TRUs with zero emission TRUs and the payment of electric plugs (not infrastructure). The Air District will only pay for new TRUs after the old TRUs have been inspected and the grantee has gone into contract with the Air District. Purchases made before contracting and inspection will not be paid for.

For a list of eligible equipment, see the CARB CORE website.

Eligible applicants include both public and private entities and must be and stay in compliance with all local, state, and federal laws, including the Air District regulations and CARB’s ARBER program.

Projects have a 5-year or 10,000 hours project life with annual reporting required. See the draft contract for additional program requirements.
