Ozone Action Day – another important reason to ride the bus!

An important reminder from SMARTAre You Prepared for Ozone Action Days?

Today (6/18) is an Ozone Action Day, which means the heat, combined with pollution create higher levels of ground level ozone which can hurt your lungs! You can have a personal impact on air quality and help to lower global warming by just taking a few small steps today…and everyday!

  • Ride the Bus. If you’ve never ridden the bus before, go to How to Ride the Bus for general information and to get a look at demonstrations.
  • If you must drive, check your tires’ inflation levels and fuel up at the end of the day.
  • Be prepared…avoid rush hour and other traffic jams
  • Try doing all your errands in a single trip.
