Last Mile Freight Program (LMFP) is sponsored by Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC). The LMFP focuses on the commercial deployment of zero-emission or near-zero emission heavy and/or medium-duty on-road trucks, equipment, and supporting infrastructure to address air quality and supply chain challenges, which indirectly impacts traffic and logistics in urban area…

The focus of the LMFP is to accelerate the transition to zero-emission and near-zero emission freight transportation in Southern California. Through LMFP Phase 1, SCAG awarded $16. 75 million from the Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC) to support 22 projects being implemented across the region, deploying zero- and near-zero-emission vehicle technologies.
Building on that foundation, SCAG is launching a new $50 million LMFP Rebate program, funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as part of the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s (SCAQMD) INVEST CLEAN initiative.
SCAG will award rebates to help last-mile delivery fleet owners and operators purchase or convert Class 4 and 5 battery-electric trucks operating in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties.
LMFP Battery-Electric Vehicle Rebates The SCAG Last Mile Freight Program is offering a total of $50 million in rebates for up to $67,000 per vehicle to support the purchase or conversion of Class 4 and Class 5 battery-electric commercial vehicles with domicile vehicle operations in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, or San Bernardino counties.
Funding is provided through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and administered as part of the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s INVEST CLEAN program. This program is designed to reduce emissions, improve regional air quality, and accelerate the adoption of zero-emission vehicles in goods movement operations.
Eligibility & Who Should Apply The Last Mile Freight Program rebates are open to fleet owners and operators of commercial (non-passenger) vehicles engaged in freight operations, including last-mile delivery operators, freight forwarders, other logistics companies, and business-to-business distributors. Public fleets may also be eligible if they can demonstrate that their vehicles are used for last-mile freight activities.
Participants have two options for participating in the program. Cash For Replacement Option Applicants may receive a maximum rebate of $67,000 for each battery-electric Class 4 and 5 vehicle by providing an existing vehicle(s) to a dealership, original equipment manufacturer, or dismantler approved by CARB or the local air district.
Each existing vehicle must be diesel powered and fall within Class 4, 5, or 6 vehicle classes with an engine model year from 2010 or newer. Vehicle Conversion Option In addition to new vehicle purchases, the program also offers rebates of up to $67,000 for the conversion of existing Class 4 and 5 diesel-powered vehicles with an engine model year of 2010 or newer to battery-electric power.
Only Class 4 and 5 diesel vehicles can receive a rebate for their conversion and the original diesel engine must be removed and dismantled by the conversion provider or delivered to a certified dismantler approved by CARB or the local air district.
All eligible applicants will be considered, but SCAG will give funding preference to projects based on vehicle replacement levels, “shovel-ready” vehicle acquisition plans, projected emissions benefits, and geographic funding balance (please see the Program Announcement document for more information on application selection). The LMFP Rebate (INVEST CLEAN) program opened Oct. 31.
Possible re-release in July 2026 if funds remain. Evaluation of applications is underway, and recommended awards are expected to be brought to SCAG Regional Council for approval on March 5, 2026. For more information about the LMFP, please email LMFP@scag.

SCAG has developed a two-phased approach for the LMFP: Phase 1 : Focused on the commercial deployment of zero-emission or near-zero emission (ZE/NZE) heavy- and/or medium-duty on-road trucks (including ZE/NZE equipment and supporting infrastructure). Phase 2 : Expand on Phase 1 projects to deploy operational strategies demonstrated by last mile delivery companies.
A total of $16,751,000 was awarded in Phase 1 of the LMFP through the call for projects and selection process . Program Goals The LMFP aims to: Achieve immediate greenhouse gas emission and criteria air pollutant (for NOx and PM 2. 5 ) reductions from commercially deployed vehicles and equipment and facilitate supporting infrastructure.
Inform both industry and the public regarding ZE/NZE vehicles and equipment and supporting infrastructure performance and how this information can be used to scale emission reductions to contribute to regional air quality goals. Provide private operators and stakeholders with information on return on investment and cost-effectiveness insights into ZE/NZE vehicles and equipment and infrastructure operations, maintenance, and reliability.
Create greater transparency regarding the need for public versus private ZE/NZE supporting infrastructure. Inform the needs and help address the challenges to significantly scale ZE/NZE vehicles/ equipment and infrastructure in the region. Achieve geographic funding diversity and ensure that the LFMP provides economic and environmental benefits across the entire region.
Additionally, the LMFP is guided by a set of core principles as follows: Creating transparency as to critical barriers impeding the transformation of the last mile freight market. Measuring success for both public and private entities. Optimizing where investments can generate the strongest benefits for further growth.
Achieving air quality reduction targets. Award Recipients SCAG LMFP awarded $16. 8 million to fund investments in zero- and near-zero commercial vehicle technologies that reduce emissions during last mile freight operations and support the region’s clean-air goals included in the Connect SoCal Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy.
SCAG’s Regional Council and the Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee unanimously approved awarding of the funds in November 2021 and January 2022.
