Achieve Impact
The strategies in Goal 1 are designed to achieve real, measurable reductions in air pollution, with a focus on communities that continue to be most heavily impacted by exposures to air pollution.
Overview
Under Goal 1, we will achieve impact by improving our approach to air quality planning. While we continue to reduce regionwide air pollution, we will ensure we have a complete and accurate picture of local air pollution, one that includes community experience and perspectives of local air pollution.
To achieve impact, we will also strengthen our regulations, permitting and enforcement policies, and improve how we hold industry accountable when our regulations are violated. We will work with communities to reimagine how we distribute state and federal funding for electric vehicles and charging stations to our most vulnerable communities. We will develop innovative regional solutions to climate change. We will better support our local government partners and other agencies in their efforts to mitigate climate change.
