Community

The West Oakland Community Action Plan (WOCAP), is a community-led plan for reducing air pollution in West Oakland. Built on decades of neighborhood research, the plan is the result of legislation passed in 2017, known as AB 617, which focuses on community-based emissions reduction in neighborhoods most disproportionately impacted by air pollution. The bill directs air regulators to work with our communities to develop solutions. West Oakland is the first California community to guide such a process and serves as a model across the country.
