We have just received the following Spare the Air advisory.  As
previously announced, YOLOBUS will  provide free rides to all passengers
on announced "Spare The Air" days.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, August 31 is a Spare The Air Day in the Sacramento
region. Ground-level ozone air pollution is forecast to reach 140 AQI -
Unhealthy for 

Sensitive Groups (Spare The Air trigger is 127 AQI & above).A Spare The
Air advisory is being issued for tomorrow due to strong high pressure
over northern California that is creating hot surface temperatures,
light winds, and a strong temperature inversion, trapping pollution in
the Sacramento region.

The Spare The Air program is urging motorists to reduce driving and take
their lunches to work instead of driving out to eat. Homeowners are
asked to avoid the use of gas-powered yard tools. Everyone is urged to
carpool to sports and recreation activities and postpone errands that
can wait. 

If traveling within Yolo County, remember that Yolo Bus and UNITRANS are
free on Spare The Air days! For schedule information visit

<http://www.unitrans.com/> http://www.UNITRANS.com

Did you know that:

Poorly maintained cars pollute more. Regular tune-ups will help your car
run better and cost less to operate. 

People are also being asked to:

- eliminate vehicle trips

- arrange to carpool with friends or co-workers

- use public transit whenever possible

- work from home instead of driving to work if your employer supports
"teleworking"

- exercise in the morning before air quality hits unhealthy levels

- avoid the use of charcoal lighter fluid and barbecues
