Why Clean Air Matters
Air pollution is one of the biggest environmental threats to our health. Small actions, like using public transit or biking instead of driving, can make a huge impact. By joining us in Clean Air Day California, you’re helping to:
- Improve air quality
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
- Create healthier communities
GCTD is committed to clean transportation. GCTD’s transition plan to reach Zero Emissions by 2040 is currently being developed. You can learn more about this initiative here.
