It All Adds Up to Cleaner Air Initiative
Purpose
It All Adds Up to Cleaner Air is a public education and partnership-building
initiative developed by several federal agencies for the purpose of informing
the public about the impact of their transportation choices on traffic
congestion and air quality. The It All Adds Up to Cleaner Air initiative
was developed in response to requests from state and local
governments for federal sponsorship of a public education initiative
that would help them meet mobility and clean air goals of two
federal laws – the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st
Century and the Clean Air Act Amendments.
