Voluntary Accelerated
Vehicle Retirement Program (VAVR)
"Voluntary accelerated vehicle
retirement (VAVR) programs, sometimes referred to as scrap or vehicle buy
back programs, pay owners of eligible vehicles to
voluntarily
retire their older, high emitting vehicles. The primary goal of vehicle
retirement programs is to reduce ozone-forming emissions by accelerating
normal fleet turnover so that newer, cleaner vehicles can be put into
use sooner than what would occur naturally. VAVR
programs are one of the many
components of the State Implementation Plan (SIP), California's
comprehensive strategy to achieve the federal ozone standard throughout the
state."

Statewide Programs:
Bureau of Automotive Repair: Consumer
Assistance Program (CAP):
The Consumer Assistance Program (CAP) provides financial assistance for
qualified consumers whose vehicles fail their biennial (every-other-year)
Smog Check. The statutory authority for CAP is found in the Health and
Safety Code and is implemented through regulations adopted by the Bureau of
Automotive Repair (BAR). Participation in CAP is limited to available
funds.
ARB’s Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP):
The Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP) is designed to accelerate
widespread commercialization of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) and plug-in
hybrid electric vehicles by providing consumer rebates up to $2,500 to
partially offset the higher cost of these advanced technologies. These
vehicles are a key element of California's strategy for meeting health based
air quality standards and climate change goals.
