Complimentary Grant
Funding Assistance

Let’s face it, grant funds typically go hand-in-hand with green technologies and California leads the way on both fronts, but programs can be complicated and extremely time consuming. A-Z Bus Sales has your back! Let our team of experts get you up to speed on the available programs and help you tackle the processing of your applications.

VW Funds - Available

The Volkswagen (VW) Environmental Mitigation Trust (Trust) provides about $423 million for California to mitigate the excess nitrogen oxide (NOX) emissions caused by VW’s use of illegal emissions testing defeat devices in certain VW diesel vehicles. The Trust provides funding opportunities for specified eligible actions that are focused mostly on “scrap and replace” projects for school buses and shuttle buses.

HVIP - Opening Soon

The California Air Resources Board (CARB), in partnership with CALSTART, launched the Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) to accelerate the adoption of cleaner, more-efficient trucks and buses. HVIP works directly with dealers to apply the voucher incentive at the time of purchase. Any commercial vehicle user in California, including municipal fleets, smalls businesses, school districts and more can apply.
