Clean Air Campaign Highlights Valley Employers
24th Annual Event Celebrates Trip Reduction Efforts
What do IKEA, Scottsdale Healthcare, City of Mesa and the Boeing Company all have in common? These employers, among several other Valley organizations and 11
individuals, received top awards at the 24th annual Clean Air Campaign luncheon. Thanks to their outstanding efforts to improve air quality and comply with the
Maricopa County Trip Reduction Program, they are helping to create a cleaner environment and encourage greater sustainability in their daily commute activities.
The awards, which ranged from outstanding carpooler to corporate sustainability, are a way to honor year-long efforts to reduce commute-related emissions and
traffic congestion.
As a lead sponsor of the event, SRP partnered with Valley Metro at the annual luncheon held at the J.W. Marriott Desert Ridge. Organizations sponsoring the Clean
Air Campaign include the Arizona Departments of Environmental Quality and Transportation, Maricopa Association of Governments, Maricopa County Air Quality
