New Equipment on a Turlock Dairy Farm Reduces ...

California Department of Food and Agriculture

Supported by a $565,470 grant from the California Department of Food and Agriculture’s Alternative Manure Management Program, Paul Danbom of Brindeiro & Danbom Dairy Farms in Turlock took a significant step towards improving the efficiency of his dairy operation and installed a new solid separation system. Instead of flushed manure being discharged directly into a settling pond and storage lagoon system, it is now pumped through a separator capable of capturing a large portion of manure solids, keeping that organic material from entering and decomposing in a liquid environment where it would produce methane.

The High-Speed Rail Project: Progress Over the Last Decade

The High-Speed Rail Project: Progress Over the Last Decade

California High-Speed Rail Authority

Funded in part by California Climate Investments, the High‑Speed Rail Project has made investments to contribute to economic development and a cleaner environment, support jobs, and conserve and protect agricultural lands. Implementation of the High‑Speed Rail Project provides a variety of benefits to Californians. Estimated GHG emissions reductions from the High‑Speed Rail Project are 84 to 102 MMTCO2e over its first 50 years of operating life, as detailed in the 2023 California High‑Speed Rail Sustainability Report.

Many Hearts Coming Together for San Francisco’s AHSC Project

In October 2023, the City of San Francisco’s Balboa Park Neighborhood held a ribbon cutting for 131 new affordable homes adjacent to the Balboa Park Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Station, known as Kapuso at the Upper Yard. These homes were built thanks to
$29.9 million from SGC’s Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC), in its fifth round of funding. The AHSC program funds the construction of affordable housing near transit as a key strategy to reduce GHG emissions by reducing vehicle miles traveled, and Kapuso at the Upper Yard is a key example of the need for this work.

Since 2015, the City of Los Angeles (LA), in partnership with the LA Department of Transportation and the Mayor’s Office, has received a total of $4.7 million from CARB’s Clean Mobility Options program for a zero‑emission car share pilot project. This project, known as BlueLA, is operating in 13 underserved communities that face significant air quality burdens and have historically been excluded from environmental benefits. BlueLA provides a clean and affordable mobility option in these communities, which include Downtown, Pico Union, West Lake, and Koreatown.

Revitalizing Rural and City Transit: Electric Buses arrive in Merced County

In the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, a transformative project is underway to reshape public transportation in communities around Merced. Thanks to $3.1 million in funding from the California State Transportation Agency's Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP)—half from California Climate Investments and half from SB 1 funds—the Transit Joint Powers for Merced County initiative addresses critical transit needs in disadvantaged communities. The initiative improves air quality and spurs economic growth by adding battery‑electric buses into The Bus, Merced County’s public transit system.

Funding ZEV Workforce Training and Career Development for Priority Populations

Through the Inclusive, Diverse, Equitable, Accessible, and Local (IDEAL) ZEV Workforce Pilot Project administered by the California Energy Commission and co‑funded by CARB, Fresno City College has offered three high schools in Fresno County the opportunity to introduce their automotive students to ZEV technology. Training was provided in December 2023 for high school teachers at each of the three schools, and they were provided with tools and equipment to offer the new ZEV curriculum starting in spring 2024.
