Report 2019-127: San Diego County Air Pollution Control District: It Has Used Vehicle Registration Fees to Subsidize Its Permitting Process, Reducing the Amount of Funds Available to Address Air Pollution (Release Date: July 2020)

Recommendation for Legislative Action

To increase the transparency of, and promote accountability for, the use of the vehicle registration fees that the public pays, the Legislature should require that each local air district submit an annual report to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) detailing how it used the vehicle registration fees it received. Both CARB and each local air district should be required to provide this information to the public on their websites.
