Vehicle owners of the Dallas-Fort Worth nonattainment counties may be eligible to receive vouchers to assist with the replacement of older more polluting vehicles through the AirCheckTexas Drive a Clean Machine Program. Recipients must meet income and vehicle requirements to qualify. Qualified individuals will receive a $3,000 voucher toward a car (including SUVs and minivans) of the current model year or previous three model years, $3,000 toward a truck of the current model year or previous two model years, or $3,500 toward a hybrid, electric vehicle, natural gas vehicle, or a Tier 2 Bin 3 or cleaner vehicle of the current model year or the previous three model years.
