How can one person make a difference?
Try an alternative commute solution. Really, it’s that simple.
The North Texas Clean Air Coalition challenges you to make a difference by making a clean air commitment. Every day the commuting choices you make have an impact on our air. As an added incentive, from April 17th to September 15th your alternative commute choices could mean a chance for you to win $250 through the 2009 Commuter Challenge.
Log your commute alternative each day and be reminded that the small changes you’ve chosen are making a big difference. One less commute, one less car, one breath of clean air.
Commuter Challenge winners will be announced at the North Texas Clean Air Coalition Working for Clean Air™ award events in October.
The North Texas Clean Air Coalition is the only 501c3 nonprofit in the region dedicated solely to encouraging voluntary efforts to improve air quality in North Texas through educating, engaging and recognizing the business community. Visit the Clean Air Coalition at www.workingforcleanair.org.

The Dallas-Fort Worth region is the fourth largest metropolitan region in the nation with almost 6.5 million residents. Rapid population growth in the past decade has led to increasing transportation problems here in the region. The construction of additional roadway lanes has not kept pace with this population growth. As a result, traffic congestion has become a major concern for regional travelers; and with increased traffic congestion comes air quality concerns.
One way for commuters to help improve traffic congestion and air quality in the region is to reduce the number of vehicles that travel on our roadways, by using alternatives to driving alone to work. Alternative commute options include carpooling, vanpooling, transit, walking, telecommuting, etc.
Try Parking It will help you see your contributions to clean air by giving you an estimate of miles saved and harmful emissions reduced, each time you submit your alternate commute. With your help, the data you submit will help us calculate improvements in our regional air quality and will aid in the development and evaluation of our region's transportation systems and infrastructure.
