First round of CRP funds awarded in June 2024

As part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA)/Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) signed into law in November 2021, the U.S. Department of Transportation established the Carbon Reduction Program (CRP). This program provides funding to states and MPOs for projects designed to reduce transportation-related carbon emissions from on-road highway sources.  

The regional Carbon Reduction Strategy focuses the first two years of CRP funding ($7,441,629) on planning grants to strategically maximize the impact and the region’s readiness for implementation and construction-focused grants. The next CRP funding round will award the last three years of CRP and focus on Mobility Zone pilot projects and Regional Trail Network Implementation.



The CRP supports efforts that reduce carbon—regional funds will position the region to better compete for ZEV implementation grants, advance implementation of the regional trail network, and strategically implement programs that will reduce carbon emissions. 

  • Regional Trail Network Implementation: pre-construction phases of planned (Class 1) trails identified in the six-county Sacramento Regional Trail Network adopted in 2022;  

  • Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Deployment: program development to increase readiness for state and federal funding programs related to the deployment of zero-emission vehicles and charging/fueling infrastructure; and 

  • Strategic Carbon Reduction Programs: program implementation to offer sustainable mobility options and alternatives to driving alone.
