Environmental Protection
Proposition 1B Implementation
Proposition 1B provides $1 billion to fund projects intended to improve air quality along four of California's major transportation corridors: from the Los Angeles ports to the Inland Empire, State Route 99 in the Central Valley, the San Francisco Bay Area, and the San Diego border region. The Air Board will be developing program guidelines and will solicit project proposals. The projects to be funded are intended to achieve air quality improvements above and beyond anything required by current law or regulation. The Budget Act contains $250 million for the Air Board to award during 2007-08.
Proposition 1B also provides $200 million to replace older, higher-polluting school buses. This funding will allow all school buses of model year 1976 and earlier to be replaced. Once this is accomplished, the Air Board will allocate the balance of the remaining funds to local air districts in proportion to the number of school buses of model years 1977 through 1986 operating in each district. The air districts will then allocate the funding for either the retrofit of the buses, or their complete replacement. The Budget contains $193 million to be awarded in 2007-08 for this purpose.
