The CLEAN AIR Force of Central Texas

Description

The CLEAN AIR Force of Central Texas is a 501(c)(3) corporation representing government, business, environmental, and community interests throughout Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, and Williamson counties. The focus of the organization's efforts is promoting programs and actions to reduce emissions that produce ground-level ozone, a major component of smog and regulated air pollutant under the federal Clean Air Act. The organization was founded in 1993 and incorporated in 1996. Activities focus on three air quality areas: (1) review and oversight of technical studies; (2) direction of information and outreach projects; and (3) coordination with other Texas near-nonattainment areas to secure state funding for monitoring and modeling work. In addition to programs (e.g., Clean Air Partners, Ozone Action Day, public awareness campaigns, etc.), CLEAN AIR Force meetings, open to the public, provide a forum for exchange of information and ideas. Operations funding is provided by annual contributions, grants, donations, and in-kind services from the membership.
