A. The Spare the Air Program was established by the
Bay Area Air Quality Management District to educate people about air pollution and to encourage them to change their behavior.
To encourage Bay Area residents to "spare the air", AC Transit participated in the regional promotion in 2008 by offering free rides to all passengers all day on the first four non-holiday, weekday, Spare the Air days declared by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. Spare the Air days are declared by 1:15 p.m. the day before ozone emissions are expected to exceed federal standards. For more Spare the Air information, visit www.sparetheair.org. |
