Clean Air Day

Join SANDAG in taking the pledge to commute for clean air on Wednesday, October 4 for California Clean Air Day!

Clean Air Day is built on the idea that shared experiences unite people to take action and create new habits to improve air quality. Join the millions across the state that pledge each year, and commute by carpool, vanpool, transit, biking, or walking on October 4.  

Eligible pledge participants 18 years and older will be automatically entered into the Clean Air Day sweepstakes for the chance to win a prize!
