The new year is here, so it’s time to set and commit to New Year’s Resolutions! Here’s some ideas you can add to your resolutions to help reduce air pollution.
Take Public Transportation and Rideshare
More people using public transit means fewer cars on the road. When taking an Uber or Lyft ride, opt for a rideshare trip instead of traveling alone! Coordinate with coworkers or fellow students to arrange carpools.

Walk or Ride a Bike to Get Things Done
Increase physical activity while reducing carbon emissions. Incorporate a daily stroll or bike trip in completing quick errands such as grabbing a coffee or picking up prescriptions.
Switch to a More Efficient Vehicle
Automakers are continuing to release new electric, zero, and near-zero emission vehicles for all types of budgets. You could be eligible to receive up to $12,000 with South Coast AQMD’s Replace Your Ride Program.
