Air District hosts Clean Cars for All: Electric Vehicle Showcase in South San Francisco

The event will include remarks from Assembly Speaker pro Tempore Kevin Mullin, County Supervisor David J. Canepa, and Vice Mayor Richard Garbarino, as well as a short presentation about the Clean Cars for All grant program, which provides up to $9,500 for low-income members of communities disproportionally affected by air pollution to retire older vehicles and replace them with a hybrid, plug-in hybrid or electric vehicle, or get a Clipper Card for public transit. Additionally, electric vehicles will be on display with testimonials from electric vehicle owners and there will be on-site assistance to complete a Clean Cars for All application.
