Statute text

(a)In order to provide sufficient support for low-emission vehicle projects at the start of the program, the commission shall administer a demonstration project that provides limited funds for fueling infrastructure. Expenditures from the fund for this demonstration program shall not exceed two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000). In addition to providing necessary financial assistance to a limited number of infrastructure projects, the purpose of the infrastructure demonstration program is to assess whether funding for infrastructure is an appropriate and cost-effective use of public funds.

(b)The commission shall solicit applications for a balanced mix of demonstration projects involving fueling and electrification infrastructure that is linked to covered vehicle projects and that is consistent with program goals. The commission, in consultation with participating districts, shall make every effort to coordinate infrastructure projects with covered vehicle projects representing a broad variety of fuels, technologies, and applications as appropriate and consistent with this chapter. Infrastructure projects that begin to dispense qualifying fuel on or after the date the program is implemented are eligible for funding under the program. The commission may also subvene infrastructure funds to districts to solicit applications and to expend the funds in accordance with this section. The commission shall have oversight and reporting responsibility for any funds that are subvened pursuant to this subdivision.

(c)Any fueling infrastructure funded under the program shall be approved for funding by both the commission and the applicable district. The commission, in consultation with the districts, shall develop guidelines and criteria for infrastructure projects to be funded under the program.
