AQMD and APCD logos

The Sacramento Region Air Quality and Infill Streamlining Program (ISP) is a grant program to assist the Sacramento Region in meeting federal air quality standards and the requirements of California’s Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008 (SB 375). The ISP provides technical assistance to local jurisdictions to facilitate community planning projects in infill locations and to improve air quality through land use measures that help reduce vehicle miles traveled.

Program Update
The ISP issued its first request for project proposals in November 2010 and received an excellent response, with many applications received from local jurisdictions throughout the Sacramento region. The ISP Policy Committee, the project selection hearing body, convened in March 2011 to make the final selection for projects to receive ISP assistance during the first ISP funding cycle. The staff report and the meeting summary for this hearing are available at the links below.
