In July 2017, the California Assembly and Senate passed Assembly Bill (AB) 617 (C. Garcia, Chapter 136, Statutes of 2017) directing the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to develop the Community Air Protection Program (CAPP). The Program’s focus is to reduce exposure in communities most impacted by air pollution and uses a variety of strategies, including community level monitoring, uniform emission reporting across the State , stronger regulation of pollution sources and incentives for both mobile and stationary sources. To support AB 617 requirements, the Legislature appropriated Community Air Protection (CAP) Incentives funding to be administered by air districts in partnership with local communities to support early actions to address localized air pollution. The District will work collaboratively with CARB and actively engage members of impacted communities in Yolo and northeast Solano County to create a community-focused action framework to address emission impacts, respond to concerns, improve air quality, and reduce exposure to criteria air pollutants and toxic air contaminants.
Funded by Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds, projects funded with CAP Incentives must align with the goals and requirements of California Climate Investments. These include targeting funds to projects that meaningfully reduce local pollutant exposure in disadvantaged and low-income communities that are disproportionately impacted by air pollution while also showing a net reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Project decisions follow extensive outreach by the District to the public in those communities, and the opportunity for community members to propose and comment on specific projects.
2024 Project Solicitation
Applications for CAP will be accepted between 8 a.m. March 18th, 2024 and 4 p.m. May 10th, 2024.
A copy of the 2024 Solicitation Memo is available below.
Projects eligible for funding through the CAP Incentives Program must be Carl Moyer-eligible On-Road, Off-Road and Infrastructure projects.
California Climate Investments Priority Populations – Disadvantaged Communities
California Assembly Bills 617 and 1550 require the majority of CAP Incentives funding to provide emission reduction benefits to Disadvantaged Communities, which are designated by Senate Bill 535. The District has three designated Disadvantaged Communities: the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, the northern portion of West Sacramento, and Rio Vista and the surrounding agricultural lands. Over $1 million in funding has been reserved for projects located in and benefitting Disadvantaged Communities. To check if an address is located within a Disadvantaged Community, please enter the address into the California Climate Investments Priority Populations 2023 map.

The Community Air Protection Incentives Program is part of California Climate Investments, a statewide program that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing GHG emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health and the environment– particularly in disadvantaged communities. The Cap-and-Trade program also creates a financial incentive for industries to invest in clean technologies and develop innovative ways to reduce pollution. California Climate Investments projects include affordable housing, renewable energy, public transportation, zero-emission vehicles, environmental restoration, more sustainable agriculture, recycling, and much more. At least 35 percent of these investments are located within and benefiting residents of disadvantaged communities, low-income communities, and low-income households across California.
