What Can YOU Do to Improve the Air We Breathe?

As A Community: Build greener using materials that are recycled Reduce green house gases by using electricity from a renewable source Ride the bus more often, ride a bike or car pool; the less cars on the road the less emissions Insist that public transportation is fueled by alternative fuels like CNG Our RTA buses are almost all run on compressed natural gas

As An Individual: Combine errands to save gas and reduce exhaust; better yet, park and walk! Don’t Idle! Idling is running vehicle instead of turning it off. Make the switch to cleaner fuels! Slow down when you drive! Don’t overfill your tank! This will help prevent leaks and evaporation. Keep up with your vehicles engine….the better it runs the better it is on gas. Check the air pressure in your tires regularly Do not fill your tank on O-zone action days

As An Business: When replacing fleet---go alternative fuel! Don’t Idle! Support air shed planning Have us do free fleet emissions testing for your fleet! Do your part to conserve electricity

Alternative fuel vehicles July 22, 2012Footer text here5 Though the sticker price of alternative fuel vehicles may look more expensive….you have to look at the cost savings in the long run on fuel and the saving to the environment in emissions!
