The Driving Clean Assistance Program is dedicated to POWER YOUR FUTURE with a new clean-air vehicle.

Spring is a great time to start fresh, including the way you drive. The Driving Clean Assistance Program (DCAP) helps income-qualified Californians retire older, higher-polluting vehicles and replace them with cleaner transportation options. 

Participants may receive financial assistance toward a cleaner vehicle and guidance throughout the process—from application to purchase. 

See if you qualify and take the first step toward cleaner driving.
