Program Highlights
The AB 617 Private School Air Filtration Program provides incentive funds for air filtration systems in private K-12 schools and private daycare facilities within AB 617 Communities. These systems can reduce children's exposure to Diesel Particulate Matter and other harmful air pollutants. Program funding is from Supplemental Environmental Projects (SEPs), community-based projects that result from settlements.

South Coast AQMD continues to work with these communities, CARB, and US EPA to identify funding opportunities for air filtration projects.
