AB 8: Investing in cleaner cars

Reauthorizes the Carl Moyer Program (AB 923) and the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Fund (AB 118). The Carl Moyer program reduces health risks by supporting early upgrades and replacements of polluting diesel engines; to date, it has cleaned up 48,000 engines, preventing the release of 146,000 tons of smog-forming emissions. Since 2007, AB 118 has supported the deployment of 23,000 clean- and alternative-fueled vehicles and the creation of more than 7,600 jobs.
