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 seen 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 regional incentive program.
• About 8,000 people in Georgia have registered to receive Smog Alerts via e-mail to help them take precautions on bad-air days.
• More than 10,500 employers and commuters receive our newsletters to stay informed about air quality.

On the Job

• The Clean Air Campaign and its partners work with nearly 1,600 employers and property management companies.
• We have provided more than $7.5 million in free technical assistance to employers since 2000. Each year, The Clean Air Campaign outreach team provides approximately 30,000 hours of consulting time to employers across the region.

In the Schools

• Clean Air Schools works with more than 100 Georgia schools, some at the district level, 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 230,000 students and faculty and are available statewide.

In the Bank

• More than 90 cents of every dollar donated goes directly to programs and services that help improve mobility in the 20-county Atlanta region and in other areas around the state.
• Each dollar invested in the promotion of commute alternatives yields an annual return of $191; almost a 200-to-1 return on investment.
• We save Georgians more than $150 million every year on gas and vehicle expenses.
