What difference does it make? From the late 1970’s until recently, ground-level ozone and particle pollution levels in Jefferson and Shelby counties exceeded federal limits, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). A designation known as being a “non-attainment area.” After the community, key companies, and multiple agencies committed to voluntary changes, the Birmingham area reduced pollution levels to meet federal standards. These two counties currently maintain “attainment” designation. The transportation sector (cars, trucks, etc.) is a major source of air pollution in the U.S. In order to maintain our “attainment” designation, we must continue our efforts to reduce pollution. The program is an effective way to save money, reduce traffic, and improve our air quality. Practical alternatives to driving alone—such as carpooling, vanpooling, walking, bicycling, riding the bus, and teleworking—help commuters save money while also improving our environment.
