The Sacramento Emergency Clean Air & Transportation program (SECAT) is a unique response to an urgent problem. SECAT provides $70 million in transportation funds to clean up the region's heavy-duty diesel truck fleet by 2005, with most of the work done by 2002... The SECAT program is authorized by the State Legislature in AB2511, and funded by $50 million set aside by Governor Gray Davis, and $20 million in local transportation funds (from the Congestion Mitigation Air Quality, or CMAQ fund) allocated by the SACOG Board of Directors to match the state funding... AB2511 also created a similar program to be administered by the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District, allocating $25 million set aside by Governor Davis to help that area achieve State Implementation Plan (SIP) goals for reducing mobile source emissions.
