Thank you for your interest in the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District’s Drive Clean in the San Joaquin Vehicle Replacement Program. Unfortunately, due to high demand, at this time, all program funding has been exhausted. If you are interested in being contacted when additional funding is available, let us know. Please note the expected wait time is approximately 10 months. Again, we sincerely appreciate your interest in the program and improving air quality for all residents of the San Joaquin Valley.

After your application is approved, you can shop for a newer, cleaner car at one of our authorized dealers.
We will give the dealer the check for the down payment. The amount of incentive check that you receive is dependent on your income level and the type of new vehicle you purchase. Cleaner vehicles receive higher incentives! We encourage our customers to upgrade to the cleanest models possible. New vehicles must be 2015 or newer and meet our MPG requirements. See our FAQ page for more details.
We will collect your old car for retirement on the day that you take home your new vehicle. All retirement cars are destroyed and recycled so that they are no longer able to pollute our Valley air!
