The U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency's Office of Transportation

and Air Quality (OTAQ) is charged

with reducing air pollution from

mobile sources. Since 1997, local

and national partners have fostered

public awareness about transporta-

tion impacts on air quality and

how individual choices can and do

make a difference. As with molecules

of air, we are partners in motion!
