Transforming Disadvantaged Communities
As California seeks to achieve its climate goals, it is critical that those most impacted by pollution share the benefits of this transformation
The TCC Program funds development and infrastructure projects that achieve major environmental, health, and economic benefits in California’s most disadvantaged communities
Community-led Change
Funded by California’s Cap-and-Trade Program, TCC empowers the communities most impacted by pollution to choose their own goals, strategies, and projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and local air pollution – all with data-driven milestones and measurable outcomes
True to its mission, the TCC Program was developed through a transparent and stakeholder-involved process, including a Statewide Summit and numerous workshops held throughout California
