About the Program

Clean Cars 4 All is a Sac Metro Air District program to help income-qualified residents buy a zero or near zero emission car. To participate, you must turn in a 2006 model year or older car.

THE SAC METRO AIR DISTRICT PROGRAM WILL GIVE RESIDENTS TWO OPTIONS:

“SCRAP & REPLACE” Up to $9,500 towards the purchase or lease of a new CVRP Eligible Plug-In Hybrid, Battery Electric or Fuel Cell Vehicle OR up to $9,500 towards the purchase of a used PHEV, EV or Fuel Cell Vehicle that is less than 8 years old with less than 75,000 miles and a clean title. Vehicles must be purchased through an authorized CC4A Dealer. Be sure to look for clean vehicle rebate programs like CVRP for additional savings after the purchase.

(Coming later) Participants may be eligible for an additional $2,000 in charging support.

“SCRAP & FORGET” (Coming later) – Soon a participant can opt to go "car-free", and receive up to $7,500 in value to use for car and bike sharing, public transit, or to buy an e-bike.

Clean Air and Climate Relevance

The Sac Metro Air District, as a partner with the state of California, is excited to add this mobility program to the long list of other innovations emerging in the region.
Transportation emissions, congestion, and a growing trend of single-occupant vehicle use are increasing greenhouse gas emissions and making it more challenging to meet clean air and climate change goals.
With programs like Clean Cars 4 All, we can imagine a future less dependent on combustion vehicles for our transportation needs.
This program is an example of the transformation of transportation taking place locally and across many regions in the state, the nation, and the world.
We in Sacramento want to be the game changers for future mobility.

Program Funding

$5 million from California Climate Investments administered by the California Air Resources Board. The funding is expected to fund 300 to 500 vehicles and about 100 alternative transportation options.
