The District develops and administers a comprehensive suite of highly-successful voluntary incentive programs targeted at reducing harmful emissions throughout the Valley. These innovative programs provide an opportunity for Valley residents, businesses, public agencies and other organizations to get involved and make a positive impact on the Valley’s air quality. The District is constantly updating existing programs and developing new programs as new, cleaner technologies emerge to ensure we remain on the cutting edge of emission reduction technology. Additionally, the District is consistently working to ensure that the Valley receives its fair share of available federal, state and local funding for incentives. Through a combined public/private investment of more than $2 billion, the District has been able to reduce tens of thousands of tons of harmful emissions through a variety of cost-effective, voluntary and often first-of-their-kind incentive programs.
