For compliance with regular operation within 0.5 miles of approved IBZs, the replacement truck must commit to five (5) years. These trucks must meet and maintain 70% of their total vehicle miles traveled within the Tri-State area of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut state geographic boundaries, and must operate within the Program approved IBZs at least two (2) times per week each year of their program commitment.
The replacement truck is required to be tracked with an automatic vehicle locator (AVL) for vehicle use and reporting compliance. If a truck is not meeting the compliance requirements listed above, the Participant with the replacement truck will be notified in order to remedy the situation. If at the end of their annual year, the replacement truck is out of NYC Clean Trucks Program vehicle miles traveled compliance, then the Participant is subject to default with the following options:
The Participant is required to repay 20 % of their rebate incentive to the NYC DOT for the prior annual year and the Participant is to continue operating the replacement truck within the guidelines of the NYC Clean Trucks Program, or
The Participant is required to repay 100 % of their rebate incentive to the NYC DOT and the Participant will be removed from the NYC Clean Trucks Program.
If the Participant chooses to be removed from the NYC Clean Trucks Program they would be required to repay a portion of the rebate incentive to the NYC DOT in the amounts specified below based on the years remaining in the Program:
100%, if occurring within the first annual period from date of replacement truck delivery;
80%, if occurring within the second annual period from the date of replacement truck delivery;
60%, if occurring within the third annual period from the date of replacement truck delivery;
40%, if occurring within the fourth annual period from the date of replacement truck delivery and
