From communities, public agencies, utilities, industry partners, etc. It is critical that we work together to develop programs that support clean transportation for all.
CARB aims to listen, build trust, and form and strengthen lasting partnerships that ensure public and stakeholder priorities are reflected in our work, and that all of us benefit from the State’s clean air and climate goals. Throughout 2025, multiple federal actions have challenged California’s environmental policies and clean air efforts.
Recent illegal and unconstitutional actions taken by the current federal administration directly target CARB’s authority to enforce three of its most significant regulatory programs for protecting public health. These actions have also created market uncertainty, undermining confidence in clean technologies and hindering affordability and access.
On June 12, 2025, the Governor signed Executive Order N-27-25 , reaffirming California’s commitment to deploy zero-emission vehicle technologies to improve air quality, especially in communities disproportionately impacted by pollution. The Executive Order also directs the state to do the following: Update our purchasing requirements to prioritize manufacturers that are aligned with the State’s emissions targets.
