Clean Air Campaign

Employer partnership - as part of a multi-tiered effort, cac provides employers with consulting and assistance to establish commute options and other smog reducing programs. Our staff develops commute options programs that increase The number of employees who carpool, vanpool, take transit, telework, work compressed work weeks, walk or bike to work. Many employers also change their operations and maintenance policies to reduce pollution and save money on energy costs (lawn maintenance, fleet refueling, etc.). In 2015 we helped a national employer develop and implement a company-wide employee commute options program.idle reduction programs - we also work with employers with fleets and substantial diesel truck traffic at their work sites to eliminate unnecessary idling. In 2015, we secured funding to develop an online idle reduction calculator so that, once developed, fleet managers, as well as individuals, can more easily calculate cost and pollution savings on their own.

Onair schools program - onair schools is a prek-12 educational initiative by The Clean Air Campaign that inspires students to take actions that improve our Air quality. This is a national program available to all schools, teachers and students at no cost. All onair schools projects are aligned with The next generation of science standards, as well as national literacy and math standards and national stem/steam and project-based learning initiatives. All programs include toolkits, resources, and access to a secure online digital platform where projects are teacher-managed and student-led.the onair schools digital classroom tool was piloted by over 130 schools in 7 states across The u.s. In 2015-16. As a result, students and schools led Air quality improvement and education programs that resulted in over 1600 pounds of pollution taken out of The Air and over 325,000 students, parents, and school staff educated on actions to reduce Air pollution.
