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.

Upcoming meetings for each of the CSCs include:

• Wilmington, Carson West Long Beach (WCWLB) – May 11, 2-4 p.m.

• San Bernardino, Muscoy (SBM) – May 25, 6-8 p.m.

• South Los Angeles (SLA) – June 8, 4-6 p.m.

• Southeast Los Angeles (SELA) – June 22, 4-6 p.m.

• East Los Angeles, Boyle Heights, West Commerce (ELABHWC) – July 13, 4-6 p.m.

• Eastern Coachella Valley (ECV) – July 27, 5-7 p.m.

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 CERPs and CAMPs.
