Programs - Coastal Bend Air Quality Partnership

The Coastal Bend Community Air Action Plan

A plan for all

At CBAQP, we work to ensure a healthy economy and good air quality long into the future.
The Coastal Bend Community Air Action Plan (CB-CAAP)
will build strong commitments to air quality within the communities where we live and work.

While the CB-CAAP is in its early stages of development,
it provides a uniting front for air pollution reduction commitments,
policy statements, and measurable goals that ensure we meet
national air quality standards and protect our community and environment.
