Synopsis of History
In 1990, the South Coast AQMD initiated an annual review of the Technology Advancement program by an external panel of technical experts to coordinate and ensure consistency of South Coast AQMD activities with related state, federal, and international clean air technology activities.
Mission
To provide an independent review of the Technology Advancement program with the objectives of:

-
Assessing the overall direction of the program to ensure consistency with AQMP, Clean Air Act, and Energy Policy Act goals; and
-
Identifying relevant new or emerging project areas and resources for South Coast AQMD consideration.
