Getting to know southern california's replace your ride program

In efforts to eliminate smog and improve the air quality in Southern California, the South Coast Air Quality Management District and Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee are providing drivers with the opportunity to replace their older rides with newer, lesspolluting vehicles.

Did you know that you could receive as much as $9,500 as well as low-interest financing by switching to a vehicle that’s better for the environment? For the budget-conscious car consumer, that’s quite a deal! In this presentation, we’ll break down the eligibility requirements and details on how to go about getting started.

In order to participate in the Replace Your Ride program, the following factors will be reviewed as part of the application process: • Household income • Vehicle retirement • Previous program participation • Location of residence

To be considered, you must live in a household with an income level at or below 400% of the federal poverty level. Proof of income will also be reviewed via your IRS Form 1040 or California Form 540 for the most recent tax year. In some instances, other documentation may be considered to determine income and the number of people living in your household.

If you’re ready to retire your vehicle, the title must be under your name. The vehicle also needs to be operational and exceed emission levels for Model Year 2000 and newer vehicles.

Other requirements include: • Gasoline or diesel powered vehicles • Weight of 10,000 pounds or less according to GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) • Valid registration with the California DMV

Participation in the program is limited to one incentive per person. This rule also applies to joint owners of a vehicle, so if the title is under multiple names, both parties will be considered as having participated in the program.
