As summer temperatures rise, so do air pollution levels. That’s why the Department of Environmental Quality occasionally
puts out a Clean Air Action Advisory signaling that the air is unhealthy, especially for children, the elderly, and people with
breathing problems. Fortunately, we can reduce the severity of the problem by lim iting vehicles on the road. We can all
breathe easier by planning to use alternative transportation on these days. To help you prepare, Tri-Met is offering a packet
that includes everything you need to be ready to ride the bus or MAX, as well as information on carpooling. Don't wait
until the pollution problem heats up again. Take a deep breath, and call 238-RIDE now.
