Local Education Programs. Many communities in Central Texas do not have the resources to design and launch programs to increase public awareness of air quality. In most of the region, Ozone Action Days and air quality issues are viewed as a City of Austin phenomenon and an Austin problem. While the region’s deteriorating air quality has changed this picture somewhat, the general understanding of the importance of the issue has not grown significantly. A market survey conducted for the CLEAN AIR Force in the summer of 2001 revealed that 58% of the respondents were unaware that violations of federal air quality standards had occurred. In developing their O3 Flex commitments, each of the signatories agreed that, at a minimum, local educational programs would be developed to increase awareness and to encourage voluntary actions by individuals. The CLEAN AIR Force is working with the signatory communities to fulfill this commitment. Articles for employee newsletters, paycheck stuffers, and articles for local newspapers are being developed. During the 2001 ozone season, the CLEAN AIR Force used paid print ads in community newspapers to promote information and tips on ways individuals can help ozone-producing emissions; a print ad campaign is also planned for the 2002 ozone season. For many of the rural and less affluent areas of the Central Texas region, an assertive effort to increase public awareness of air quality issues may be their most cost-effective strategy. Also, while these programs are difficult to quantify in terms of their impact on ozone levels, education efforts take on a particularly important role when the problem’s solution relies heavily on personal actions and choices. Directionally sound, but not quantifiable at this time.
