AB 970 (Salas): Grants for Nonemergency Medical Transportation
AB 970 would establish a new grant program within the California Department of Aging (CDA) to fund nonemergency medical transportation (NEMT) for seniors and persons with a disability with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Eligible expenditures would include operation of bus service, the purchase, lease and maintenance of zero-emission or near-zero-emission vehicles with a capacity for 7, 12 or 15 passengers. The program would be funded, upon appropriation by the Legislature, with Cap and Trade revenue from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF).
