Alabama Partners for Clean Air (APCA) is an affiliation of 14 public, private and nonprofit organizations working to implement voluntary strategies that improve air quality in Jefferson and Shelby counties. APCA's goals are to achieve and maintain compliance with national air quality standards, to protect and improve public health, to minimize the economic impacts on existing businesses and support economic growth consistent with clean air goals. Please view the 2007-2008 APCA Annual Report.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has officially acknowledged that Jefferson and Shelby counties have met the national air quality standard for ozone, based on monitored data from the period 2003-2005. The area met the stringent 8-hour standard just two years after achieving compliance with the old 1-hour standard.
The CommuteSmart Commuter Servicesprogram was created to provide alternative solutions to help commuters avoid the stress of driving alone. Employees need to know there are other ways to get to work than driving alone in their cars. They need to be supported and encouraged in their efforts to find... a Smarter way to work!
