Public Meetings to Discuss the Community Emissions Reduction Programs
Community emissions reduction programs, developed pursuant to Assembly Bill (AB) 617 (C. Garcia, Chapter 136, 2017) and the Community Air Protection Program, focus on reducing cumulative exposure to air pollution in individual communities. Upon approval of a community emission reduction program by an air district board, the program will then be considered by CARB's Governing Board.
CARB staff are hosting community meetings to hear directly from community steering committees, additional community members, and the public as they develop recommendations for each of the community emissions reduction programs for consideration by CARB’s Governing Board.
