monitoring requirements voluntary actions by citizens in the region will be more important than ever Many
citizens are not aware how their daily activities affect air pollution
The more people who are aware of how daily activities affect air pollution the more likely they are to
change their behaviors and help improve air quality in Fort Worth. and North Texas. There is no better place
to reach the public on air quality issues than while they are in their car driving to and from work, and/or
encountering traffic congestion and delays
The City of Fort Worth will use these grant funds to expand its own outreach efforts by placing a total of 448
air quality banners on light poles in high visibility areas along the streets of Fort Worth and through the
DFW Airport entrances. The banners will be on display for two months between July and September
reinforcing other ozone campaign messages and inform citizens of a simple task they can do to help clean
up the air in North Texas.
The banners will be displayed in downtown Fort Worth and along University Drive and Hulen Street. Plans
also include placing the banners through the DFW Airport entrance.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION
The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, adoption of the attached
appropriation ordinance and receipt of the grants funds will be available in the current operating budget, as
