DISCUSSION:
The Clean Air Fair and the Clean Air Bike Rally are designed to expand the City's air quality education
campaign by increasing citizen awareness of air quality issues within the region. In the Fort Worth/Dallas
area, approximately half of the ozone-forming pollution is the result of vehicle emissions. Traffic and other
daily activities can keep air pollution at dangerously high levels, making it difficult for many to breathe.
The City of Fort Worth will host its Ninth Annual Clean Air Fair in late April in downtown Fort Worth and the
Sixth Annual Clean Air Bike Rally in late October at Trinity Park. These events focus on educating
downtown commuters and North Texas cyclists on the many voluntary actions they can take to reduce air
pollution and protect their health during ozone season (May 1 -October 31).
The Clean Air Fair reaches approximately 3,000 downtown- commuters each year and more than 300
cyclists ride in the Clean Air Bike Rally.
Commitments for cash sponsorships have been made by: XTO Energy, Inc. $2,500.00, Harris Methodist
Fort Worth Hospital $2,500.00, Bell Helicopter $1,000.00, Carter Burgess $1,000.00, TXU $10,000.00,
BNSF Railway $1,000.00, North Central Texas Council of Governments $1,000.00 and the Alcon
Foundation, Inc. $1,000.00. In addition, the remaining funds from the Lockheed Martin Aeronautics
Company donation accepted on M&C G-15525 on December 12, 2006 will also be used.

bottled water for each event valued at $600.00.
