City's SOAR report now open for public comment

The plan aims to identify opportunities for cleaner air, better public health, reduced energy costs, and new job opportunities for residents.

The city launched the effort in January 2025 and held multiple community workshops and focus groups between February and October before releasing the draft SOAR Bakersfield report for public review.

The city says they are developing the plan with support from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Climate Pollution Reduction Grant program.
