The New York Truck Voucher Incentive Program (NYTVIP), administered by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), reduces the cost for truck, transit, and school bus fleets to purchase zero-emission vehicle technologies. NYTVIP provides vouchers - or discounts - to fleets across New York State that purchase or lease medium- and heavy-duty, zero-emission battery electric (BEV) or hydrogen fuel cell electric (FCEV) vehicles.
Voucher amounts are determined by calculating the difference in cost between the zero-emission vehicle and a comparable diesel vehicle. A percentage of the difference (or “incremental cost”) is then used to determine an exact voucher amount, which is capped at a maximum dollar amount. Voucher incentive amounts may vary based on factors such as: vehicle type, weight class, and whether the vehicle operates in a Disadvantaged Community. All voucher amounts are subject to funding availability and applicable per-project caps.
To date, NYTVIP funding has come from two sources: the Volkswagen Environmental Mitigation Trust (VW Settlement) and from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Improvement Program. The dataset includes application information from the New York Truck Voucher Incentive Program (NYTVIP) since 2019.
