Programs

Programs are the specific actions, research areas, or regulatory responsibilities of the California Air Resources Board.

Programs are how the Board works to protect public health by improving and protecting air quality. Programs support all aspects of the work of the CARB, from research and measurements, to policy implementation and regulation enforcement.
