AB 617 is a community-based program that brings together residents, local businesses, health and environmental organizations, government agencies, and other stakeholders to form Community Steering Committees (CSCs). These CSCs work together to develop and implement plans to help reduce air pollution in communities. These plans are known as Community Emission Reduction Plans (CERPs) and Community Air Monitoring Plans (CAMPs). CERPs focus on communityidentified air quality priorities while CAMPs provide localized strategies for air quality monitoring. All six communities within South Coast AQMD’s jurisdiction are currently in the implementation phase of their CERPs and CAMPs.

2nd Annual AB 617 Community Engagement Event
South Coast AQMD will host the 2nd Annual AB 617 Community Engagement Event on Saturday, October 25, 2025, with a livestream available. The event will highlight the power of community collaboration through meaningful conversations on current events and their impact on air quality. It will provide an inclusive and inspiring space for CSC members as well as representatives from consistently nominated communities to connect across regions, exchange insights, and share strategies.
