Ideally, both individuals and businesses will modify their activities to reduce ozone-producing emissions. These activities can include carpooling, or using transit, staying in rather than going out at lunch time, refueling vehicles after dark and rescheduling certain kinds of operations. Use your company s internal communications network to notify employees that tomorrow will be an Ozone Action Day. E-mail, voice mail, and posters placed near exit doors have been used effectively by many organizations. Hoist the Ozone Action Day flag, which is available for purchase to Clean Air Partners, on your flagpole to remind employees and also alert passersby that it s time to help clear the air.
Every organization is different.
Consider these activities as you design a plan that will work for you. Provide incentives for employees not to drive to work alone during the morning rush hour. Set up a ridesharing program and offer transit passes to employees. Consider offering prime parking spaces for carpools and flexible shifts. Allow telecommuting when feasible.
