Figure 2 New Actions under the Community Air Protection Program
Partnerships with community members in Program development
through community assistance grants and community steering
committees, where community members and local air districts will work
together to craft solutions for each selected community.
Community-specific emissions reduction programs that will target
new local actions to reduce emissions directly within selected
communities.
Mechanisms for community members to assess the effectiveness of
the Program through measurable outcomes, metrics to track progress,
and annual public reports.
Engagement with local land use and transportation agencies to help
reduce the current impacts of sources that sit too close to residents and to
avoid these situations in the future.
Incentive investments to help purchase cleaner vehicles and equipment,
with a focus on advancing zero emission technologies within impacted
communities.
New statewide actions to reduce emissions from sources that are
concentrated within heavily impacted communities throughout the State
and consider ways to target these actions to reduce localized exposure.
More detailed information on air pollution within communities
through new community air monitoring programs led by both air districts
and community-based organizations.
Better information on pollution sources within communities through
new requirements for reporting emissions data and making data more
accessible and user-friendly.

community selection, which, for the first set of communities selected, is
October 1, 2019. Figure 4 provides an overview of the community emissions reduction
program process.
Figure 4 Overview of Community Emissions Reduction Program Process
The overall elements for inclusion in the community emissions reduction programs are
summarized in the checklist provided in Table 1, with a detailed checklist provided in a
separate appendix. CARB will review each air districts’ community emissions reduction
program to ensure they meet the requirements and will reduce air pollution exposure in
the designated community. The detailed checklist will form the basis for CARB’s review
and consideration for approval process for each community emissions reduction
program.

COMMUNITY STEERING COMMITTEE
To ensure a collaborative partnership in developing the community emissions reduction
programs, once communities are selected for action, air districts must form local
committees composed primarily of individuals who live, work, or own businesses within
each community. Additional members may include air district staff, and participants

II – NEW COMMUNITY-FOCUSED FRAMEWORK COMMUNITY AIR PROTECTION PROGRAM Please submit any written comments by July 23, 2018 to: https://www.arb.ca.gov/lispub/comm/bclist.php. 3 Figure 2 New Actions under the Community Air Protection Program Partnerships with community members in Program development through community assistance grants and community steering committees, where community members and local air districts will work together to craft solutions for each selected community. Community-specific emissions reduction programs that will target new local actions to reduce emissions directly within selected communities. Mechanisms for community members to assess the effectiveness of the Program through measurable outcomes, metrics to track progress, and annual public reports. Engagement with local land use and transportation agencies to help reduce the current impacts of sources that sit too close to residents and to avoid these situations in the future. Incentive investments to help purchase cleaner vehicles and equipment, with a focus on advancing zero emission technologies within impacted communities. New statewide actions to reduce emissions from sources that are concentrated within heavily impacted communities throughout the State and consider ways to target these actions to reduce localized exposure. More detailed information on air pollution within communities through new community air monitoring programs led by both air districts and community-based organizations. Better information on pollution sources within communities through new requirements for reporting emissions data and making data more accessible and user-friendly.

Brown Jr. CARB Governing Board selects communities for action in the first year and sets the Program requirements. CARB launches Technology Clearinghouse for the cleanest pollution control technologies: best available control technologies (BACT), best available retrofit control technologies (BARCT), and best available control technologies for air toxics (T-BACT). Air districts form community steering committees for first-year communities and begin to develop the community emissions reduction programs. Air districts develop expedited schedules for implementing BARCT, which must be implemented by the end of 2023. Air districts deploy monitoring in first-year communities selected for community air monitoring systems. Air districts adopt programs in first-year communities selected for community emissions reduction programs. CARB Governing Board selects additional communities for air monitoring and community emissions reduction programs. CARB Governing Board considers air districts’ community emissions reduction programs. JULY 2017 BY LATE 2018 Within one year after the selection of additional communities, air districts adopt community emissions reduction programs. CARB Governing Board updates the statewide strategy, which must be updated at least once every five years. BY OCTOBER 2018 BY JANUARY 2019 BY JULY 2019 BY SEPTEMBER 2019 BY DECEMBER 2019 AND ANNUALLY THEREAFTER By SEPTEMBER 2023 BY JANUARY 2021 AND ANNUALLY THEREAFTER Air districts provide annual reports for first-year communities selected for community emissions reduction programs. BY OCTOBER 2020

Figure 4 provides an overview of the community emissions reduction program process. Figure 4 Overview of Community Emissions Reduction Program Process The overall elements for inclusion in the community emissions reduction programs are summarized in the checklist provided in Table 1, with a detailed checklist provided in a separate appendix. CARB will review each air districts’ community emissions reduction program to ensure they meet the requirements and will reduce air pollution exposure in the designated community. The detailed checklist will form the basis for CARB’s review and consideration for approval process for each community emissions reduction program. WHAT WILL EACH COMMUNITY EMISSIONS REDUCTION PROGRAM INCLUDE? Figure 5 provides an overview of the required elements of a community emissions reduction program.
