UNC Charlotte Air Quality Action

UNC Charlotte volunteered to serve as one of 50 select employers to participate as part of a Regional Air Quality Board Project called Clean Air Works! This project will initially run from June through August and is intended to include voluntary employer-based programs to encourage employees and managers to reduce vehicles on roads and the negative impacts from emissions, especially during bad air days. Activities could include-where it makes business sense to do so-occasionally working from home, using flex-time and compressing schedule arrangements, riding CATS, carpooling, and ride -sharing.

University committee educational efforts are aimed at encouraging a change of mindset among faculty, staff and students about commuting approaches.
