The Air Grants Program is a part of CARB’s overall efforts to implement Assembly Bill 617. Signed into law in 2017, AB 617 established a community-based framework to improve air quality and reduce exposure to toxic air pollutants in California communities most impacted by air pollution. As an initial step toward building the capacity of California communities to participate in the implementation of AB 617, CARB developed the Air Grants Program. CARB is releasing these guidelines under the fiscal year 2018-2019 State budget for $5 million.
