AIR QUALITY ACTION PLAN SUMMARY
The Gateway Cities Council of Governments (GCCOG) was tasked with preparing an Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) to address the issue of improving the air quality in the I-710 Corridor. The purpose of this AQAP is to address these community concerns which included the following:
- Develop a work plan to improve air quality in the corridor.
- Implement a corridor level work plan to improve air quality.
- Implement local alternative fuels/electrification and/or hydrogen policies and programs to reduce diesel emissions.
- Pursue opportunities for incremental improvements.
- Implement Port-specific strategies.
In response to these community concerns and requests the Gateway Cities Council of Governments has initiated the Gateway Cities Council of Governments Air Quality Action Plan Phase 1:
Phase 1 of the Gateway Cities Council of Governments Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) is a unique planning effort. The GCCOG will engage major stakeholders from corridor cities, the environmental community, and air quality regulatory agencies to secure ideas, concerns, comments and directions for the AQAP.
Once the Gateway Cities Council of Governments Air Quality Action Plan
Phase 1 initial analyses are completed, the Gateway Cities Council of Governments will proceed with the subsequent steps and strategies developed from this initial work.

The Gateway Cities Clean Air Program was created to provide financial incentives to help reduce air pollution in Southern California. It is managed by The Gateway Cities Council of Governments of Southeast Los Angeles County in partnership with the Port of Long Beach, the California Air Resources Board and the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
The Clean Air Program consists of Fleet Modernization and Off-road Vehicle components.
Fleet Modernization – Financial incentives are available for commercial truck drivers operating in the Gateway Cities region who trade in their older diesel trucks for newer models with cleaning burning engines. For more information, click here.
Off-road Vehicles – Financial incentives are also available to fund improvements to off-road commercial vehicles. For more information, click here.
