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 last three years of CRP funding will be programmed in 2026 and will focus on Mobility Zone pilot projects and Regional Trail Network Implementation.



The CRP supports efforts that reduce carbon—the 2024 regional funds positioned the region to better compete for ZEV implementation grants, advanced implementation of the regional trail network, and strategically implemented 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.
