The Regional Clean Air, Healthy Communities Survey will collect input on strategies to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions across transportation, energy, industry, waste and land use, per the release. Community feedback will guide the Regional Clean Air Action Plan, a roadmap for improving air quality and public health through 2050.
“Clean air is essential for healthy families and thriving communities,” Jamila Owens, assistant director of transportation at H-GAC, said in the release. “Through this survey and our public meetings, residents can play an active role in prioritizing strategies that improve air quality and climate resilience across the region.”
