Clean Transportation Program: project funding preferences.

Existing law establishes the Clean Transportation Program, administered by the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission, to provide funding to certain entities to develop and deploy innovative technologies that transform California's fuel and vehicle types to help attain the state's climate change policies. Existing law requires the commission to give preference to those projects that maximize the goals of the program based on specified criteria. This bill would expand the list of criteria that a project is required to meet in order to be given preference for funding by the commission to include that the project is in a nonattainment area, as specified, and that the project advances the comprehensive strategy for vehicles, as provided.
