NYSERDA - New York Truck Voucher Incentive Program

July 02, 2025

Summary

The New York Truck Voucher Incentive Program (NYTVIP), administered by NYSERDA, helps to make it easier for bus fleets to adopt clean vehicle technology. This program provides vouchers or discounts to commercial, non-profit, or public fleets across the state who purchase or lease medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission battery electric (BEV) or hydrogen fuel cell electric (FCEV) vehicles. Vehicles eligible for this program include Class 3-8 Battery BEV and Class 4-8 FCEV. The program previously included incentives for CNG, propane, and hybrid vehicles but discontinued this offering in December 2022.

Voucher amounts are calculated differently based on funding track. Voucher incentive levels may differ by vehicle/equipment type, vehicle weight class, vehicle domicile locations, fleet size, and dismantling of an older diesel vehicle. Voucher amounts are subject to funding availability and applicable per-project caps.

As of June 2025, the program offers three separate funding tacks:

Class 3 - 8 ZEVs
Non-Road Equipment
Transit Buses

Incentive structures, funding, and eligibility vary by funding track, for more information, consult the implementation manual.
