INVEST CLEAN is helping modernize Southern California’s goods movement by advancing zero-emission technologies and supporting healthier communities.
The initiative spans from the San Pedro Bay Ports through Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, to the California borders with Arizona and Nevada. INVEST CLEAN aims to reduce air pollution, improve air quality, and create workforce opportunities as the region transitions to cleaner transportation technologies.

Workforce training programs will help prepare workers for clean transportation jobs:
460+ jobs in California
4,700+ jobs across the nation
In July 2024, U.S. EPA awarded South Coast AQMD a Climate Pollution Reduction Grant of nearly $500 million for the INVEST CLEAN project.
INVEST CLEAN will see community benefits through emission reductions, and workforce training. Through a Community Benefits Plan, a Steering Committee will conduct outreach and education on climate, air quality, Zero Emission technology, and workforce.
