Community Outreach Questions
What kind of community outreach is the Sac Metro Air District required to do?
Community outreach and documentation of project support are required for this program. All air districts must provide reports of their outreach to the California Air Resources Board(CARB) twice a year. The type of outreach and how to collect input have not been specifically determined by CARB and are up to the local air district. You can read more about this requirement in the Community Air Protection Incentive Guidelines.
The Sac Metro Air District has focused on outreach to the communities identified through the Community Air Protection (AB617) process and our South Sacramento/Florin Air Monitoring Community.
In the Yolo-Solano Air District, we are attending events for the community in areas designated as a disadvantaged community and low-income area by CalEnviroScreen 3.0. Yolo Solano AQMD currently does not have any communities identified through the Community Air Protection process.
