About the Technology Implementation Office
The Technology Implementation Office (TIO) was established in 2017 and its mission is to advance emerging solutions to reducing greenhouse gas emissions for the transportation and industrial source sectors. TIO connects climate technologies and customers by providing financial incentives (through grants and loans) as well as technical and matchmaking support. Climate technology areas include zero emissions vehicles and infrastructure, zero emissions energy storage and backup systems, composting, and waste-to-energy projects (co-digestion, waste treatment, anaerobic digestion, combined heat and power). By supporting the scale-up of climate technologies, TIO can help achieve state and regional greenhouse gas emissions targets, reduce emissions in impacted communities, while also making technologies cost-effective even in regions without strong climate policies.

In addition to electric vehicle and charging programs, the TIO administers the Climate Tech Finance program which offers loan guarantees to help entrepreneurs secure debt financing, such as a loan through a community bank, so they can commercialize emerging technologies faster. By offsetting the risk for banks, the program helps entrepreneurs bridge a challenging financial gap on the path to commercialization. In many cases, the Climate Tech Finance program is helping entrepreneurs get their first business loan.

About the Strategic Incentives Division
The Strategic Incentives (SI) Division supports the Air District’s mission by managing incentive funding that is awarded to eligible projects that achieve voluntary reductions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases, primarily from on- and off-road vehicles and equipment that operate in the Air District’s jurisdiction. Annually, the Strategic Incentives Division administers more than $90 million in new revenue to fund programs and projects that replace older diesel-fueled vehicles and equipment such as school and transit buses, marine vessels, locomotives, trucks, construction equipment, agricultural equipment, and other mobile equipment, with newer, cleaner alternatives, including zero-emission technologies, and install refueling/charging infrastructure that supports the accelerated adoption of zero-emissions vehicles and equipment. Other examples of programs administered by staff in Strategic Incentives support the reduction of single-occupancy vehicles, provide cash to residents for retiring their older vehicles, and provide grants to reduce pollution from woodburning devices and lawn and garden equipment. The Strategic Incentives Division also works to develop and implement incentive programs to meet community identified strategies for reducing air quality disparities and that benefit the Bay Area’s most overburdened communities.
