Delivering Results

ACT Leadership Award

Some of the best work to reduce traffic is happening here in Georgia. The Clean Air Campaign was presented with a national leadership award, recognizing its best practices and partnerships that have become a model for others to follow, but there’s more work to be done.

The Clean Air Campaign must keep pace with our state's booming growth. So far, we've made great progress, but there is still much to be done. Here are just a few of the results we have accumulated so far.

On the Roads and In the Air

• Every day in metro Atlanta, the use of commute alternatives results in 1.4 million vehicle miles not traveled and 700 tons of pollution kept out of the air.
• More than 70,000 commuters have participated in Commuter Rewards, an innovative incentive program available statewide.
• More than 10,000 people in Georgia have registered to receive Smog Alerts via e-mail to help them take precautions on bad-air days.
• Almost 20,000 employers and commuters receive our newsletters to stay informed about air quality.

On the Job

• The Clean Air Campaign and its partners work with more than 1,600 employers and property management companies.

In the Schools

• Our Clean Air Schools program works with more than 300 Georgia schools and school districts to reduce unnecessary idling, encourage bus ridership and walking and enhance environmental education.
• The Clean Air Campaign creates lesson plans for schools that show the science behind air quality.
• Our programs reach more than 380,000 students and faculty and are available statewide.

In the Bank

• These programs and resources save Georgians more than $150 million every year on gas and vehicle expenses.
