Spare the Air

DID YOU KNOW?
Every summer, the Sacramento region fails to meet state & federal health standards for ozone.
Vehicles & other mobile sources cause about 70 percent of this region's air pollution problem.
Respiratory illnesses caused by air pollution claim almost twice as many lives as traffic accidents.
In an effort to help improve the region's air quality, PCTPA's Spare the Air campaign promotes the use of alternative modes of transportation during the summer months when our air is most unhealthy.  In cooperation with the public transit operators in Placer County, the City of Roseville, and with funding provided by the Placer County Air Pollution Control District, the Spare the Air campaign offers two incentive programs: "Spare the Air: Free Fare" and "Spare the Air for Bucks." 

Spare the Air: Free Fare:
 On all designated Spare the Air days in the Sacramento Region this summer, you can ride any fixed-route or commuter bus service in Placer County for FREE! 
 

Spare the Air for Bucks:
Those who carpool, vanpool, bike, walk, take the bus or train, and telecommute to work can win monthly CASH and PRIZES!


For more info on the region's air quality issues (including what a Spare the Air day is), go to: http://www.sparetheair.com.


The Placer County Air Pollution Control District (PCAPCD) has awarded Clean Air Grant funding to sponsor PCPTA's Congestion Management Program, which includes the Spare the Air campaign.
