California’s Clean Mobility Options Voucher Program (CMO) announced $33 million in new funds for California nonprofits, public agencies, and tribal governments:

• $12.5 million for new, general funding recipients

• $3 million for eligible tribal governments

• $7.5 million for first-round Community Transportation Needs Assessment (CTNA) awardees

• $10 million set aside for first-round Mobility Project Vouchers

With this latest announcement of $33 million in awards, California’s Clean Mobility Options Voucher Program (CMO) has invested more than $66 million in under-resourced communities and tribes to address mobility gaps and reduce air pollution.

The Mobility Project Voucher provides communities the funding and project support needed to launch a clean, shared mobility project to address their unique transportation challenges. Supported modes of transportation include:

• On-demand shuttles, vans, and buses
• Traditional fixed route transit services – such as school buses
• Bikesharing and scooter-sharing
• Carpooling and vanpooling
• Electric carsharing

• On-demand rideshare services – similar to those provided by Uber or Lyft

The California Air REsrouces Board (CARB) also recently announced awards of more than $42 million to Clean Mobility in Schools (CMIS) and the Sustainable Transportation Equity Project (STEP) to support community-led projects in disadvantaged and low-income communities in California. See the full press release. CMO, CMIS, and STEP are part of CARB’s Sustainable Community-Based Transportation Equity Projects.
