Sacramento: Emergency Clean Air and Transportation Program
www.4secat.com/index1.html
The Sacramento Emergency Clean Air and Transportation program is a voluntary project
created as a way to help truck owners and fleet operators reduce their vehicles' NOx
emissions. The program was originally created by California Assembly Bill (AB) 2511 to
help assure that the Sacramento region meet its commitments under the State
Implementation Plan (SIP) for air quality attainment. The program finances the
incremental capital costs of emission control measures, operating costs, facility
modifications and out-of-cycle replacement. Eligible types of projects include the
following:
• Replacing older, higher polluting vehicles with newer, lower-emission vehicles;
• Purchasing new, low or zero-emitting vehicles;
• Retrofitting existing heavy-duty vehicles with after-treatment systems to reduce
NOx;
• Repowering existing high-emitting diesel vehicles with new, lower-emitting
engines;
• Using “cleaner” diesel fuel formulations and/or diesel emulsion fuels in place of
California diesel fuel; and
• Implementing any other verifiable, enforceable, and cost-effective technology
for reducing NOx emissions from heavy-duty on-road vehicles.
This program was originally created and funded by California Assembly Bill (AB) 2511 to
help assure that the Sacramento region meet commitments under the SIP for air quality
attainment. Additional funding has been provided by the Sacramento Area Council of
Governments Air Quality Funding Program.
