The grant award aims to allow WRCOG to support the deployment of zero -emission vehicles throughout Western Riverside County. WRCOG has awarded the City of Moreno Valley as a subre cipient of the grant award agreements mentioned previously to support the deployment and purchase of zero-emission vehicles. The applications for grant funding were a multi -jurisdiction collaboration between WRCOG and the City of Moreno Valley.
The grant approved purchases are shown in the table below:

Upon City Council approval, the City desires to utilize CARB grant funds to purchase an all-electric, heavy-duty, zero -emission street sweeper . This street sweeper will be responsible for cleaning city streets, including routes that travel through priority population neighborhoods (low-income and disadvantaged communities). This sweeper is designed to dump the contents and waste it collects into a companion truck, which will also be all- electric, zero-emissions (2024 RIZON E18L ) with a 12 -foot dump body. This truck will also be acquired using CARB funds . These initiatives will enable the City’s Fleet and Facilities Maintenance Division to implement new technologies that benefit the City, including California Climate Investment priority populations.
