Who Qualifies?
The NYCCTP is helping commercial fleet operators transition to next-generation advanced truck and transportation technologies. With this new rebate incentive funding, as of April 2026, the NYCCTP has expanded geographically to include the Disadvantaged Communities (DACs) and Industrial Business Zones (IBZs) of New York City, as well as four counties in New Jersey.
In New York, an applicant must be a commercial truck owner or operator within the nine (9) county New York Metropolitan Area that includes Bronx, Kings, Nassau New York, Queens, Richmond, Rockland, Suffolk, and Westchester.
In New Jersey, an applicant must be a commercial truck owner or operator within the four (4) counties of Bergen, Hudson, Essex and Union.

Truck Leasing Companies
To help fleets navigate Program eligibility requirements, simple roadmaps were developed that illustrate the step-by-step path for Program participation depending on the technology and fuel type of the truck being purchased, the size of the commercial fleet, and the state the fleet is domiciled in (New York or New Jersey).
The Program defines a qualifying truck as a Model Year 2015 or older diesel truck to be scrapped. The replacement truck is the new vehicle purchased with rebate incentive funds through the NYCCTP.

Disadvantaged Communities in New York City
The NYS Department of State uses census tracts to identify areas that meet the Disadvantaged Community (DAC) definition established in 2023 by the Climate Justice Working Group, which examines an area’s Environmental Burden and Climate Change Risks, as well as Population Characteristics and Health Vulnerabilities.
The majority of NYC Industrial Business Zones (IBZs) include or are adjacent to NYC DACs. These neighborhoods often bear a disproportionate share of the health impacts caused by industrial pollution and harmful truck emissions. The map below illustrates the location of the DACs and IBZs, and where they overlap in NYC.
To see if you are domiciled in or provide deliveries to a business within a DAC, please reference the NYS Disadvantaged Communities map and enter the address.

Industrial Business Zones
IBZs are thriving, high-performing industrial and manufacturing areas located throughout New York City. IBZs were established in 2006 to protect existing manufacturing districts, foster economic development, and encourage industrial growth citywide. The IBZ boundaries are determined by the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC).
