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.
