The AB 617 Program continues to work toward the improvement of air quality and public health in environmental justice communities. The community-based program brings together residents, health and environmental organizations, government agencies, and other stakeholders to form Community Steering Committees (CSCs) to develop and implement plans to help reduce air pollution. These plans are known as the Community Emission Reduction Plans (CERPs) and Community Air Monitoring Plans (CAMPs). 

The CERPs focus on community-identified air quality priorities and the CAMPs provide strategies for air quality monitoring that are unique to that community. 

Currently, six communities have been designated as AB 617:

• East Los Angeles, Boyle Heights, West Commerce (ELABHWC) – January 19

• Eastern Coachella Valley (ECV) – January 26

• Wilmington, Carson West Long Beach (WCWLB) – February 9

• San Bernardino, Muscoy (SBM) – February 23

• South Los Angeles (SLA) – March 9

• Southeast Los Angeles (SELA) – March 23

The agency will continue to work with CSC members throughout the implementation process and will hold quarterly meetings to update the community on the progress of the CERP and CAMP. For more information on the AB 617 program or meeting schedules, visit our AB 617 webpages.
