Clean Air Day

Clean Air Day is in October and coincides with Sustainable Transportation Month. Transportation accounts for 40% of California's air pollution. UCLA Transportation and UCLA Health Sustainability promote Clean Air Day and Sustainable Transportation Month to help everyone breathe easier and to provide alternative commuting options such as walking, riding a bike, carpooling, or taking public transit to your destination.
