As one of the fastest growing areas in the country, the Charlotte region has almost doubled in population since 1960, and continues to enjoy a high rate of growth. This growth brings prosperity for business and citizens, but it also presents some challenges. Two of those challenges are air pollution and traffic congestion.
Poor air quality and traffic congestion not only impact residents of the region, they also impact business in the form of lost productivity, lower employee morale, and the possibility of more federal regulations. That’s why more than 100 companies and organizations have joined Clean Air Works! as program Partners. See which regional leaders are making cleaner air - and cleaner commutes – priorities at their work sites.
Since 2006, the Clean Air Works! project has realized significant success in the region's fight to address air quality challenges by working with its 116 employer Partners. To date, Clean Air Works! efforts have helped to avoid approximately five million miles of vehicle travel from our region's roads. In total, Partner commute and operational changes have contributed to the avoidance of over 280,000 pounds of NOx emissions from our region's air. Join today and help make a positive impact on air quality in our region.
