Across America, communities are seeking to improve air quality as they face the challenges of choking traffic congestion, increased vehicle emissions, longer commute times, and sprawling growth patterns.  Concerns about climate change heighten the urgency of reducing air pollution through energy conservation, renewable energy development, and transportation and land-use planning.

NALGEP is working with local communities to identify some of the more innovative approaches to addressing air quality through new technologies, effective community outreach, smart growth tools, and improved commuter choices.
