US scrappage schemes and vehicle replacement incentives
US vehicle retirement and replacement incentives, including California and regional clean vehicle programmes. See where schemes apply and what they fund.
In the United States, scrappage support is usually delivered through state programmes, air districts or clean transportation initiatives. That means eligibility is often tied to where you live, your income, and the kind of vehicle you are retiring.
The strongest first pages for ScrapScheme are California's Clean Cars 4 All and South Coast AQMD's Replace Your Ride, with Vermont included as an example of a smaller state-level retirement and replacement programme.

Country hub FAQ
Is there a national US scrappage scheme?
No. Support is usually state-led, district-led or programme-led.
What matters most on US scheme pages?
Location, income band, whether you have an eligible vehicle to retire, and whether the programme funds a vehicle, mobility option, or both.
Why are some pages California-specific?
Because California has some of the most developed and best-documented public replacement incentive programmes.
