AB 177 - Air Quality Improvement Program: electric bicycles.

This bill would specify projects providing incentives for purchasing electric bicycles, as defined, as projects eligible for funding under the program. The bill would establish an Electric Bicycle Incentives Project to provide incentives, in the form of vouchers, to income-qualified individuals for the purchase of electric bicycles, as provided.

The California E-Bike Incentive Project is a statewide consumer-facing incentive program that aims to provide point-of-sale voucher incentives — for the purchase of electric bicycles (e-bikes) — to residents in disadvantaged communities, low-income communities, and low-income households with an annual household income of less than 300% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). Eligible applicants can receive up to $2,000 in incentives.

California Heat Pump Partnership Blueprint

The California Heat Pump Partnership (CAHPP),a public-private partnership, released the first large-scale plan to rapidly scale heat pump adoption in California through cross-sector collaboration and strategic partnerships. This blueprint outlines near-term strategies to address technical, market, and policy barriers to heat pump adoption and advance the state’s goal to install six million electric heat pumps by 2030—reducing greenhouse gas emissions from California’s buildings to support the state’s ultimate goal of achieving carbon net neutrality by 2045.

Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Regulation

Reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by major sources is required by the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32). The Regulation for the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (MRR) is applicable to electricity generators, industrial facilities, fuel suppliers, and electricity importers. A summary of reported GHG emissions data reported under MRR are made public each year, and the data used by the Cap-and-Trade Program and included in California Greenhouse Gas Inventory.

Increasing the availability of housing statewide is critical to bettering the quality of life of all Californians and to ending homelessness. The 2019-2020 Budget Act provided a spectrum of support, incentives, and accountability measures to meet California’s housing goals, and provided for the establishment of the Prohousing Designation Program.

The Prohousing Designation Program (PDP) seeks to acknowledge and support jurisdictions that go above-and-beyond state housing law to help accelerate housing production. PDP includes criteria around Favorable Zoning and Land Use that can facilitate more location-efficient development.

A jurisdiction with a Prohousing Designation may receive priority processing or funding points when applying for several funding programs, including Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC), Infill Infrastructure Grant (IIG), Transformative Climate Communities (TCC), Solutions for Congested Corridors (SCCP), Local Partnership Program (LPP), Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP), and Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program (STPG).

Receiving a Prohousing Designation also allows jurisdictions to apply to the Prohousing Incentive Program. PIP is designed to reward local governments with additional funding to accelerate affordable housing production and preservation.
