Governor Herbert, Mayor Becker and Mayor Corroon To Issue 2010 Clear the Air Challenge
Program Challenges Residents to do Their Part this July by Reducing Vehicle Emissions
SALT LAKE CITY –Utah Governor Gary Herbert, Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker and Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon will kick off the 2010 Clear the Air Challenge on Tuesday, June 15, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. at the Salt Lake City Intermodal Hub. The Challenge, which runs from July 1 to July 31, 2010, enlists residents to “drive less and drive smarter” using Utah’s TravelWise strategies to reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality.
Several counties in Utah frequently rank among the worst for air quality in the nation. At least 50 percent of emissions contributing to poor air quality and red air days comes from individual motor vehicles, which emphasizes the importance of everyone doing their part to drive down their miles through TravelWise strategies like teleworking, biking, using public transportation, carpooling and trip chaining.
