San Joaquin Valley Climate Investments in Action
Farmworkers Spread the Word on Life-Changing Weatherization Upgrades
Francisco N., a farmworker in Fresno, received a suite of sustainable upgrades to his family’s home through the Low-Income Weatherization Program’s Farmworker Housing Component
Francisco’s home now has new energy efficient heating and cooling technologies as well as solar panels to generate energy at home
With the Central Valley expected to face more severe climate impacts, energy efficiency upgrades help reduce costs to families and protect them from extreme conditions
Preparing Fleets for Zero-Emission Vehicles
Cal Fleet Advisor offers free technical assistance to help owners and operators of medium- and heavy-duty vehicle fleets integrate more zero-emission vehicles
The program has focused efforts in the San Joaquin Valley, as small agricultural fleets often face barriers to adopting new technologies
Participants in the Cal Fleet Advisor program are paired with a dedicated advisor that provides insights on everything involved with transitioning fleets towards more zero-emission technologies, making the process less daunting for fleet operators

Who is eligible?
A number of implemented California Climate Investments projects span multiple geographic boundaries (e.g., a transit bus line or large forestry project crossing county lines). While most projects can be tied to one project address, where it is not feasible to associate a project with a single region, district, or county, the same project data is included in each area that benefits from the investment. This method of attribution tends to increase the implemented project totals reported here. See the Project List for a more detailed explanation of the methodology the California Air Resources Board uses to evaluate projects that cross geographic boundaries.
