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!
