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. New air quality goals will triple the number of communities that are classified as not meet federal air quality standards. 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.
