Drive a Clean Machine Program

REPLACEMENT ASSISTANCE APPLICATIONS The program is accepting vehicle replacement applications at this time. The program has resumed replacement assistance for a limited time in 2013; however, reduced program funds will allow only a limited number of issued replacement vouchers. Applications may be submitted by fax or mail and will be processed in the order they are received.
Times may vary depending on the number of applications received and it may take up to 45business days to receive a response letter from our office. NCTCOG is not able to assist walk-ins because of limited resources.
Assistance through this application-based program is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. After enough applications have been received to exhaust the available funds, the replacement portion will be closed, and replacement applications will no longer be accepted until next year. You may continue to check this website for the current funding status.
REPAIR ASSISTANCE APPLICATIONS The program continues to accept repair applications. Applications may be submitted by fax or mail and will be processed in the order they are received. Repair applications are processed and response letters are mailed at least 10 business days after the date received.

ADDITIONAL PROGRAM INFORMATION
NOTE FOR REPLACEMENT VOUCHER RECIPIENTS: On September 1, 2011, new replacement vehicle requirements were implemented due to legislative changes made by the 82nd Texas Legislature. If a replacement vehicle is purchased on or after September 1, 2012, the requirements must be followed. These details are included in the replacement voucher envelope.
For repair or replacement assistance, a voucher must be presented to a listed participating repair facility or dealership at the time of the emissions repairs or vehicle purchase. No reimbursements are allowed if emissions repairs or vehicle purchase are made prior to receiving a valid voucher or used at a non-participating facility.
