In 2021, Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill 1 (Atkins, 2021) into law. Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) directs the state to provide funding to local and regional governments to develop sea-level rise (SLR) adaptation plans and implementation projects. In 2022 and 2023, OPC received $37.5 million and $54.5 million respectively to support the implementation of SB 1, with an additional $10 million anticipated in the 2024-2025 budget. Ultimately, OPC’s SB 1 SLR Adaptation Planning Grant Program (SB 1 Grant Program) aims to provide funding for coastal communities to develop consistent SLR adaptation plans and projects to build resilience to SLR along the entire coast of California and San Francisco Bay.
SB 1 Grant Program
The SB 1 Grant Program contains two funding tracks: one for pre-planning and planning phases (Track One), and one for the project phase (Track Two).
Track 1
Track One proposals (projects in the Pre-planning, Data Collection, and Planning Phases) are now being accepted through a rolling, quarterly process.
See the SB 1 Grant Program Solicitation (PDF) for details on this funding opportunity. Applicants must use the SB 1 Track 1 Proposal Template and Instructions (.docx), and be sure to address the minimum criteria listed in the SLR Adaptation Criteria.

Grants for Education:
HVIP: Zero-Emission Bus and Infrastructure (ZESBI) Program
Deadline: November 22nd, 2024
Match: Varies by project type and funding opportunity.
Amount: Varies depending on the bus type and infrastructure needs.
Eligibility: Public transit agencies, local government agencies, and other eligible entities in California.
Link: https://californiahvip.org/zesbi/
Summary: The Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) provides funding for the purchase of zero-emission buses and the development of infrastructure necessary to support these vehicles. The program aims to accelerate the deployment of zero-emission vehicles in California's transit agencies by reducing the upfront costs of purchasing zero-emission buses. Funds can be used for vehicles, charging stations, and other infrastructure improvements that support the transition to zero-emission fleets.
EPA: Clean School Bus Rebate Program
Deadline: January 9th, 2025
Amount: The funding is prioritized and distributed via a lottery process; funding amounts for non-prioritized school districts are much lower (up to $170,000 versus $325,000 for bus and infrastructure). Any older bus to be replaced must have been in operation three days a week during the 23-24 school year.
A CSB rebate is a payment from EPA to an eligible entity to subsidize the purchase of one or more ZE or clean school buses, and eligible infrastructure, that meet the requirements described in this Program Guide. Importantly, rebates allow selectees to receive awarded funds before purchasing the eligible buses, infrastructure, and other expenses listed in their rebate application; however, buses and associated infrastructure must be purchased after notification of a rebate award. Fleets are also required to replace existing buses by the end of the project period, although there can be overlap between receiving replacement buses and replacing existing buses.
