of transportation projects on the region’s future air quality. It

what we call "on-road mobile sources".

Conformity Document for Bexar County. The proposed documents will be
available for public review at alamoareampo.org/airquality/conformity.

Save the date for Bike to Work Day: May 15,
2020
|
National Bike Month includes an ever-expanding
diversity of events in communities nationwide - but the biggest day of
the month is Bike to Work Day (BTWD). AAMPO is spearheading BTWD around
the region on May 15, 2020! It's a celebration of bicycles as a fun and
healthy way to get to work, as well as an opportunity for those who
don’t usually bike commute to try it out. With increased interest
around the world in healthy, sustainable and economic transportation
options, the question should really be “Why not bike to work?”
Want to lend a hand? BTWD
planning is underway! Reach out to Joey Pawlik about
getting involved at (210) 230-6931 or pawlik@alamoareampo.org.
Stay tuned for all the updates on our social media channels!
