California Climate Investments Roadmap
Step 1: Hold initial or additional consultation with CARB upon receiving an appropriation
Administering agencies and CARB work together after funds have been appropriated to develop a timeline, review requirements, discuss resources.

Purpose: During the initial consultation, CARB will provide an overview of California Climate Investments and the Funding Guidelines. The Funding Guidelines outline requirements and recommendations for program design, implementation and reporting. Administering agencies will also provide an overview of their program.
Questions to Consider:
o What types of projects will the program fund?
o When does the agency plan to expend funds?
o Does the program have to meet statutory requirements, beyond GGRF requirements?
