BACKGROUND:
The Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC), established under Assembly Bill 2766 (AB 2766), funds projects that reduce air pollution from motor vehicles within the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) in Southern California.

All cities within Southern California AQMD jurisdiction are eligible to use match grant funds to meet the requirements of federal and state clean Air Acts and for implementation of motor vehicle emission reduction measures.
