INVEST CLEAN is a transformational effort to modernize how goods move through our region, spanning from the San Pedro Bay Ports across Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside counties, all the way to California’s borders with Arizona and Nevada. By investing in clean technologies, we are protecting public health, creating green jobs, and improving air quality for Inland Empire families.
