Hi,
We are in the process of forming an airshed in the Calgary, Alberta, Canada region. The main pollutants are ozone and particulate matter. We don't have much industry; vehicles are the issue in this city of over one million (which has a large footprint). We would like to hear from other cities about effective policies/bylaws and community based action to reduce air pollution.
Thanks,
Heather

Suggest an Idling By-law. This makes excellent sense as it is cost effective, simple and reduces pollution. For a current report on the status of anti-idling by-laws in Canadian municipalities, a rational for the effort and a model by-law for adoption see http://www.cleanairpartnership.org/gtacac/pdf/situational_analysis_0405.pdf
Good Luck
