The Clean Cars 4 All (CC4A) Program was recently introduced from the Air Pollution Control District of San Diego County. CC4A provides monetary incentives of up to $12,000 to lower-income drivers living in disadvantaged communities who retire and scrap their older, high-polluting vehicles and then purchase new or used low-emitting (cleaner) vehicles. Local dealerships who sign up to participate will be eligible to sell cars through this program.

As a reminder of how the program will work, lower-income owners of high-polluting vehicles will apply with the County to participate in the program. There are specific income and vehicle eligibility requirements that they must meet in order to be approved. Once approved, they can visit a participating dealer to apply their respective incentive to the purchase of a cleaner vehicle that must also meet certain eligibility requirements. Dealers would then be reimbursed for the rebate amount from the County.
