Who is eligible?
A number of implemented California Climate Investments projects span multiple geographic boundaries (e.g., a transit bus line or large forestry project crossing county lines). While most projects can be tied to one project address, where it is not feasible to associate a project with a single region, district, or county, the same project data is included in each area that benefits from the investment. This method of attribution tends to increase the implemented project totals reported here. See the Project List for a more detailed explanation of the methodology the California Air Resources Board uses to evaluate projects that cross geographic boundaries.
