Clean Air Partners Program
Phone: 512-225-7780
E-mail: manager@cleanairpartnerstx.org 

The Clean Air Partners Program was developed in 2001 as an initiative of the CLEAN AIR Force of Central Texas and the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce to encourage local businesses to proactively help improve air quality by pledging to voluntarily reduce their ozone-causing emissions by 10 percent over three years. Partners may use many different strategies to achieve these reductions, such as carpooling; telecommuting; flex-time schedules; energy conservation; on-site emission reductions from GreenChoice energy; low-emission construction; cleaner, water-conserving landscaping practices; and a host of other proactive activities that can lead to cleaner air. The program is open to any business, public authority, or organization in the five-county Central Texas region. Partners report their achievements once a year.
