Passenger Vehicle Programs
Passenger vehicles and other mobile so urces contribute over 70% of the air pollutants in San Diego County. To help achieve regional and local air quality goals, the APCD is developing programs to provide monetary incentives to San Diego residents aimed at reducing emissions from passenger vehicles.
Clean Cars 4 All (CC4A)
The San Diego region program is open. The
San Diego CC4A program website can be found here:
