Every vehicle awarded through the Driving Clean Assistance Program (DCAP) represents more than transportation; it represents access to opportunity, financial stability, and cleaner air for California communities.

In the first quarter of 2026, DCAP reached a significant milestone by delivering 959 clean vehicle incentives, helping eligible Californians access cleaner, more reliable transportation options. This achievement reflects the growing demand for affordable mobility solutions and demonstrates the impact of investing in transportation equity across the state.

For many participants, a dependable vehicle means access to employment opportunities, education, healthcare, and essential services. As more families transition to cleaner transportation, the benefits extend beyond the driver’s seat, supporting healthier communities, reducing emissions, and creating pathways to economic mobility.

Thank you to our participants, community outreach partners, dealerships, and the DCAP team who continue to make this progress possible.
