Five Bay Area County Boundaries for the Bay Area Regional Climate Action Planning Initiative Frontline Communities Map

Shapefile contains county boundaries for the five counties that are included in the Bay Area Regional Climate Action Planning Initiative Frontline Communities Map. The original shapefile was downloaded from the California Air Resources Board, Geographical Information System (GIS) Library. The “Select Layer By Attribute” tool in ArcMap was used to select only those five counties that are part of the Bay Area Regional Climate Action Planning Initiative. No display filters were used to visualize the features in the final map.

USEPA refers to these communities as low-income and disadvantaged communities (LIDACs).
