LOS ANGELES, April 2 -- Los Angeles' commitment to host the most sustainable Olympic Games ever in 2024 was backed Tuesday by California's clean air agency before the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Evaluation Commission's visit next week.

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) issued a letter praising the bid committee's approach to environmental protection. CARB's letter cited the potential in LA 2024's no-risk, no-surprises Games Plan, with no new permanent venue construction, to have a lasting environmental legacy for the region and for the Olympic and Paralympic Movements.

Authored by CARB Board Chair Mary Nichols, the letter highlighted LA and California's leadership in air quality regulations as a reason why the City of Angels is "better prepared than ever to offer the world's best athletes the ideal environment for peak performance in 2024."

Nichols underlined a number of LA's clean air commitments as evidence of the LA's credentials for hosting a sustainable Games. For example, the letter points to LA's Metro becoming the world's first transit agency to operate only clean fuel buses, operating the largest clean bus fleet in the world, LA leading the nation in the development of electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, and the Port of Los Angeles reducing diesel particulate matter in the harbor region by 80% since 2005 and piloting zero-emission goods movement technology. The implementation of these programs, coupled with the increased use of new clean technologies promises to further drive down reductions in emissions and air pollutants, ensuring clean air for the region's future.
