The AB 617 Program continues to work towards the improvement of air quality and public health
in disproportionately impacted communities. This community-based program brings together residents, local businesses, 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 localized strategies for air quality monitoring. All six communities within the South Coast AQMD jurisdiction are currently in the implementation phase of the CERP and CAMP plans.
South Coast AQMD has begun hosting a series meetings with AB 617 CSC members and community stakeholders to gather feedback and ideas on the transition beyond the 5th year of the program.
South Coast AQMD will continue to work with CSC members and co-lead organizations throughout the CERP implementation process and will hold quarterly meetings to update the community on the progress of the CERPs and CAMPs.
