Strategies

Provide funding via tax credits at the state and local level to support development and rehabilitation costs of low income rental housing

Support site-specific plans for crop production that match nutrient applications to crop needs, typically with agricultural best management practices

Provide incentives to trade in old cars or light duty trucks with low fuel efficiency and high emissions and buy new vehicles with higher efficiency and lower emissions; also called scrappage or vehicle early retirement programs

Create designated tax districts that generate revenue to invest in affordable housing initiatives, blight remediation, and economic development efforts

Implement anti-idling policies and awareness campaigns to reduce engine idling for passenger vehicles, school buses, and/or equipment and truck fleets
