Breathe Easy: San Diego’s Clean Air Day is Coming!

Get ready to clear those lungs and make our skies a little bluer. California Clean Air Day is rolling into town, and SANDAG is leading the charge to freshen up our air quality.

California Clean Air Day by SANDAG

Ditch the Car, Save the Planet

We’re all invited to take the pledge and swap our usual gas-guzzling commute for something a little greener. Whether you’re lacing up your walking shoes, dusting off that bike, carpooling with your work besties, or hopping on public transit, every little bit helps.

Free Rides for All!

And get this—MTS and NCTD are making it even easier to go green by offering free transit all day long. That’s right, you can ride the bus or trolley without spending a dime.

How to Join the Clean Air Squad

  • Make the Pledge: Visit here and promise to give your car a day off.
  • Pick Your Eco-Ride: Will it be a breezy bike ride? A brisk walk? A chatty carpool? Or a relaxing transit trip? The choice is yours!
  • Spread the Clean Air Love: Rally your crew to join in. The more, the merrier (and the cleaner our air)!

This isn’t just for the tree-huggers among us—California Clean Air Day is for everyone who breathes air (so, you know, all of us). It’s the perfect excuse to try out a new way of getting around town without any pressure.

See you there!

Let’s show California how it’s done and make this the freshest day of the year. Don’t forget to visit the SANDAG website here for all the deets and to make your pledge.

Mark your calendars for Wednesday, October 2. Together, we can make a difference in our air quality and our community.

For updates, follow along on Instagram, X, and Facebook.

See you there, San Diego!
