Air Quality Planning
What we do for cleaner air
Each of us can do our share for cleaner air – even local and regional organizations and businesses.
In addition to working closely with member jurisdictions and the Maryland Departments of the Environment and Transportation, the Baltimore Regional Transportation Board does a number of things to address transportation and air quality issues and to promote cleaner air.
