In response to Assembly Bill (AB) 617 (C. Garcia, Chapter 136, Statutes of 2017), CARB established the Community Air Protection Program (CAPP or Program). The Program’s focus is to reduce exposure in communities most impacted by air pollution. Communities around the State are working together to develop and implement new strategies to measure air pollution and reduce health impacts.
At this month's hybrid Community Air Protection Consultation Group meeting, members reviewed the draft Charter, discussed submitted comments, and took public comments. The meeting was held in person at CARB’s Southern California Headquarters (4001 Iowa Avenue, Riverside, CA) and online via Zoom. The meeting recording and more information is available on the Consultation Group webpage.
