In response to Assembly Bill (AB) 617 (C. Garcia, Chapter 136, Statutes of 2017), CARB established the Community Air Protection Program (CAPP or Program). The Program’s focus is to reduce exposure in communities most impacted by air pollution. Communities around the State are working together to develop and implement new strategies to measure air pollution and reduce health impacts.
CARB is seeking applicants to serve on the Community Air Protection (Assembly Bill (AB) 617) Consultation Group (Consultation Group). The purpose of the Consultation Group is to advise CARB on the development and implementation of the statewide strategy Blueprint 2.0, for the Community Air Protection Program (Program).
Applications must be submitted through the application link no later than 11:59 p.m., Pacific Standard Time (PST), Friday, January 24, 2025. Applicants are encouraged to review the Consultation Group Draft Charter. For questions regarding the Consultation Group or the how to apply to the Consultation Group, please email: AB617CG@arb.ca.gov.
