This is a great program - called aircheck texas. My work implements this in the North Texas area. There are some strict criteria to get the money:
- There is an income requirement, 70k for a standard family of 4 or less. So if you are solid middle class/upper midd
- Must be in an air quality non-attainment area (major metro areas of Austin, DFW, Houston - its done by county)
- Current car must have failed an air quality inspection OR be 10 years or older
- Must trade older car in for destruction - cannot sell it
There are MANY cars on the list and most are just better than average MPG gas cars. LEAFs are on there though! Depending on the replacement car depends on the amount you receive (the newest cars with the best MPG get the most money).
If you qualify it is a great plan. The money only exist until it runs out - which usually happens in Septemberish as it is first come first serve. So do it sooner rather than later!
