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.

Tuesday, September 7 and Wednesday, September 8 are Spare The Air Days
in the Sacramento region.

Ground-level ozone air pollution is forecast to reach 140 AQI -
Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups tomorrow and Wednesday (Spare The Air
trigger is 127 AQI & above).

A Spare The Air advisory is being issued for tomorrow and Wednesday due
to strong high pressure over northern California producing very warm
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. 

Remember, Yolo Bus and UNITRANS are free on Spare The Air days! For
schedule information visit  <http://www.yolobus.com/>
http://www.yolobus.com or  <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
