Community Emission Reduction Plan (CERP)

Local community leaders from Richmond, North Richmond, and San Pablo are working with the Air District to develop a Community Emission Reduction Plan, or CERP. The Path to Clean Air Steering Committee will be developing a community-led plan for the Richmond - North Richmond - San Pablo area that includes strategies to reduce harmful air pollution that impacts people where they live, work, play, and pray.

Path to Clean Air Steering Committee

The Air District is partnering with the Richmond-North Richmond-San Pablo Area to develop a Community Emissions Reduction Plan through the state of California’s Community Air Protection Program, also known as Assembly Bill 617. Community engagement is critical to the development of the CERP to ensure a community-driven plan that reflects the community’s values, needs and preferences.

In early 2021, the Path to Clean Air in Richmond-San Pablo Community Design Team, or CDT, began reviewing CERP Steering Committee Applications. The Equity, Access & Inclusion Board Committee reviewed the CDT’s recommendations and selected the CERP Steering Committee members.

The Path to Clean Air Steering Committee comprises 31 local leaders in the Richmond, North Richmond, and San Pablo area who meet monthly and provide direction and community perspective for the Air District to develop a Community Emissions Reduction Plan.

The Steering Committee is a community group that will direct the process of discussing and developing a Community Emissions and Exposure Reduction Plan. The CARB Blueprint for AB 617 states that the Air District will convene a community steering committee using an open and transparent nomination process. The final community steering committee membership should reflect the diverse makeup of the Richmond-North Richmond-San Pablo Area and should bring together an inclusive group with a range of knowledge and expertise.
