NCTCOG will accept applications for replacement assistance until Friday, May 30, 2008, 5 p.m.

Replacement assistance applications received by Friday, May 16, 2008, 5 p.m. will be processed and vouchers will be issued to all eligible applicants. However, replacement assistance applications received after the May 16 timeframe will be placed on a waiting list. Once the status of FY 2008 funds is known, a determination will be made as to whether any or all applications received during that time can be issued vouchers on a first-in, first-out basis. NCTCOG will notify all eligible applicants who were unable to receive a voucher informing them of available funds as they become available.

NCTCOG will continue to accept applications for repair assistance for vehicles that fail the emissions test, as those funds are still available.

The AirCheckTexas Repair and Replacement Assistance Program is designed to help vehicle owners comply with vehicle emissions standards to reduce ozone-forming pollutants created by on-road motor vehicles. It addresses the highest polluting vehicles and provides an incentive for citizens to contribute to the regional air quality solution. The AirCheckTexas Repair and Replacement Assistance Program expanded to offer more financial assistance to more vehicle owners.

Residents of the Dallas-Fort Worth nonattainment counties (Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall, and Tarrant) may be eligible to receive vouchers for $3,000 toward the purchase of a newer car or truck and $3,500 toward a hybrid vehicle from participating auto dealers. Up to $600 for repair assistance is available. Brochures about the program along with the application are available below.
