Latest News About South Coast Air Quality Management District

Here is the latest information I can share about the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) based on public sources.

• Overview: SCAQMD is the regional air quality agency responsible for air quality management in parts of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino counties, and the Coachella Valley. They issue air quality alerts, manage regulatory programs, and run incentive programs for clean technologies. This is the core role of the agency.[3][4]
• Recent news highlights (2025): The agency has reported enforcement actions (e.g., notices of violation to facilities for air quality concerns) and ongoing programs such as GO ZERO and INVEST CLEAN to promote zero-emission technologies, as well as AB 617 community investigations and air quality alerts. These reflect typical activities they publish in their news releases and program announcements.[1][3]
• Where to find current news: The SCAQMD maintains a “News and Media” section on their site with current news releases and archives for recent years (including 2024–2025). This is the best source for up-to-date announcements, alerts, and public meetings.[4][5][9]
• Specific programs to watch:
  • GO ZERO: $21 million incentive program to support zero-emission space and water heating and related equipment.[3]
  • INVEST CLEAN: rebates and incentives for zero-emission trucks, chargers, and related infrastructure.[3]
