Enforcement

The recently released Enforcement Data Visualization System is an interactive mapping tool that visualizes CARB's Enforcement activities throughout California, including field inspections and case settlements.

Historically, CARB releases an annual enforcement report that highlights our enforcement efforts across the state including in disadvantaged communities, summarizes recently closed cases, assess compliance status in several programs, and provides detailed statistics about enforcement related program activities. We are currently reimagining that process and will have several updates over the year. The first update of our 2022 detailed statistics and executive summary is now available at this link.

Effective enforcement of our regulations is a key element of California’s success in reducing air pollution and fighting climate change. Fair and consistent enforcement also provides a level-playing field for all regulated businesses, ensuring no one has an unfair advantage by not doing their part to help clear the air.
