3. The Tune In & Tune Up program, administered by Valley Clean Air Now in partnership with the San Joaquin Valley Air District, has helped tens of thousands of Valley residents repair high-polluting vehicles, with an estimated 30,000 vehicles brought into emissions compliance through free testing and repair vouchers. The program has prioritized low-income and disadvantaged communities, with roughly 90%+ of participants from environmental justice areas, while delivering measurable reductions in smog-forming pollutants such as NOx, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide. Collectively, the program is recognized as a cost-effective and equity-driven air quality strategy, improving public health, increasing vehicle registration compliance, and reducing mobile-source emissions across the San Joaquin Valley. Building on its success in California, Valley CAN has expanded Tune In & Tune Upstyle vehicle repair and emissions-reduction efforts into Nevada, applying the same equity-focused, cost-effective model to reduce mobile-source emissions and improve public health in additional western communities.
