The North Central Coast covers San Luis Obispo, Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Benito counties.  These counties vary from pristine coastlines to lively inland valleys. While air quality has greatly improved in this region, there are many ways for residents, students, businesses, organizations, and visitors to help clean our air.

On October 5, 2022, our region can work together for clean air.  California Clean Air Day is the perfect time to try out transit, test drive an electric vehicle, and commit to not idling your gas-powered car or truck.
