Drive Change Public Workshop (October 23rd, 2024)
At the public workshop on Wednesday, October 23rd, 2024 at the Oak Park Community Center, Valley Vision partnered with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to provide Sacramento County residents the opportunity to help develop regulations to reduce air pollution from gasoline cars and light trucks, and enhance the process of purchasing and driving a zero-emission vehicle. Residents also had the opportunity to learn more about local efforts to improve access to clean mobility and air quality.
Thank you to the California Air Resources Board for making this event possible, and thank you to the organizations and agencies who provided resources to community members. Last but not least, thank you to the community members who provided valuable input to help inform changes to clean mobility regulations!
The following are resources that were shared at the workshop including the presentation slides:
