9th Annual California Clean Air Day: October 7

Join communities across California in celebrating California Clean Air Day on October 7, 2026 and find an event near you. This statewide initiative encourages individuals, organizations and students to make choices that can support better air quality.

Here are some ideas to get you started:

• As you commute to work or run errands, take public transit or carpool instead of driving alone.
• Try walking or biking (check out the Lyft Bike bikeshare program if you don’t have your own bike).
• Attend meetings virtually instead of driving to in-person meetings.
• If you must drive, turn off your engine instead of idling at the curb.

For bigger lifestyle changes:

• Consider making energy-efficient investments in your home. ABAG’s Bay Area Regional Energy Network (BayREN) has rebates, toolkits and other programs for homeowners, and tips for renters, too.
• The Air District’s Clean Cars for All program helps residents of communities with poor air quality upgrade their personal vehicles for ones that are better for the air.
