Washington’s Zero-Emission Incentive Program (WAZIP)
Learn how to get discounts on zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and off-road equipment.
The Washington Zero-Emission Vehicle Incentive Program (WAZIP) launched in 2026 to help more businesses switch to commercial medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles and equipment. Funded by the Climate Commitment Act and managed by the Washington State Department of Transportation, and administered by CALSTART, the program provides point-of-sale discounts to make cleaner vehicles more affordable. WAZIP follows recommendations from a 2024 state study, is modeled after California’s successful HVIP (Clean Truck and Bus Voucher Program) and CORE (Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher) programs. It directly supports Washington’s climate and equity goals by cutting transportation emissions and making the benefits of clean technology more accessible.

FRAUD ALERT: Beware of WAZIP application scams
There are fraudulent communications being shared with the public falsely claiming that Washington Zero-Emissions Vehicle Infrastructure Program (WAZIP) applicants must submit by July 1, 2026, and pay a $5,000 fee to participate. These claims are false. WSDOT does not require applicants to pay any fee to participate in WAZIP and there is not a deadline for applications.
Any email, text message, phone call, social media post, or website requesting payment in connection with WAZIP applications is a scam. Please notify info@wazip.org if you receive a fraudulent message.
What is WAZIP
WAZIP is a point-of-sale voucher program that lowers the cost of zero-emission vehicles and commercial equipment right at purchase—so buyers don’t have to wait for rebates or file extra paperwork. It applies to medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and off-road commercial equipment, helping fleets replace older, higher-polluting vehicles with cleaner options. Dealers handle the paperwork and customers see the savings immediately, making it easier and faster to transition to zero-emission technology.
Washington Zero-Emission Incentive Program (WAZIP) helps businesses and fleets buy cleaner commercial vehicles and equipment—such as delivery vans, semi-trucks, tractors, and forklifts. The program makes it faster and more affordable to switch to zero-emission options while cutting transportation emissions and supporting the state’s environmental and equity goals. Discounts are applied at the time of purchase, whether new or used.

- Provides first-come, first-served vouchers for eligible medium- and heavy-duty vehicles (Class 2b–8) and off-road commercial vehicles and equipment.
- Dealers must sell approved vehicles/equipment, complete WAZIP training, and handle voucher paperwork.
