What is Being Done About Ozone by the State and County?

1. Cleaner-burning gasoline, specifically designed to reduce gas vapors, is sold in the Valley area during the summer months.
2. Vapor recovery systems on gasoline nozzles reduce emissions of gasoline vapors from the pump to your car during refueling.
3. Components of the Vehicle Emissions Inspection Program (I/M147) reduce ozone pollution.
4. The Voluntary Vehicle Repair and Retrofit Program allows for the installation of an emission upgrade kit to reduce exhaust emissions.
5. Clean Air educational initiatives from the state, county and cities are teaching people about ozone pollution. They encourage less driving and adopting other pollution-reducing strategies.
6. Maricopa County’s Travel Reduction Program requires Valley employers with 50+ employees to encourage their employees to carpool.
