Clean Cars for All Program
The Clean Cars for All Program provides incentives for low-income Bay Area residents in communities disproportionately burdened by sources of pollution to retire their older vehicle and replace it with a hybrid electric, plug-in hybrid electric, or battery electric vehicle, or to get a Clipper Card for public transit.

The program offers grants up to $9,500 for Bay Area residents to trade in older, more polluting cars and purchase a new clean air vehicle. Cars on Bay Area roads are the biggest source of air pollution and the transition to electric vehicles significantly improves air quality and public health in our communities. Clean Cars for All also helps ensure sustainable and reliable transportation is an affordable option for all San Mateo County residents.

The Clean Cars for All Program is open and accepting applications. Find out if you are eligible and  apply .
