The Bay Area Air District is a public environmental agency established by the California Legislature in 1955 as the nation's first regional air-pollution control authority. It regulates stationary sources of air pollution across the nine counties that surround San Francisco Bay. Its mandate centers on protecting public health by improving air quality and addressing the climate implications of emissions. Based in San Francisco in the Bay Area, the agency emphasizes core values such as excellence, leadership, collaboration, dedication, and equity to guide its work. In April 2026, it announced the Bay Area Regional Climate Action Plan, a regional effort to accelerate climate mitigation and move toward carbon neutrality.
