Background

In 2017, Assembly Member Cristina Garcia authored Assembly Bill 617Link to external website.

(AB 617) to address air pollution impacts in environmental justice communities. This program requires local air districts and the state Air Resources Board to reduce air pollution in these most impacted communities. Some additional state bills provided new funding to support this program. This funding helps to reduce air pollution by changing out older trucks and other equipment for newer, cleaner technologies.

South Coast AQMD is committed to making this a community-driven process, including conducting extensive outreach to stakeholders in each stage of this program. A key piece of this outreach includes the formation of Community Steering Committees in each community that is designated for the program.
