Air Quality
Ozone Alert
Tulsa is a partner in the INCOG Ozone Alert program,
The Ozone Alert! Program brings citizens, business, industry and government in the Tulsa Metropolitan area together to voluntarily reduce ozone-forming emissions on days vulnerable to high ozone levels.
Blue Skyways Collaborative
The City of Tulsa is also a member of the Blue Skyways Collaborative
The Blue Skyways Collaborative was created to encourage voluntary air emissions reduction in North America’s heartland. The idea started in 2004 and with the help of CenSARA and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the collaborative celebrated a kick-off meeting in February of 2006.
Through partnership with non-profit and environmental groups, private industries and international, federal, state and local governments Blue Skyways strives to improve air quality. Participants of the collaborative pledge to make that goal possible through active and meaningful participation in planning or implementation of projects that use innovations in diesel engines, alternative fuels and renewable energy technologies. Working together allows members to leverage funding, share technology and professional expertise.
Today Blue Skyways incorporates ten states, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Texas and New Mexico, and the area along the borders with Canada and Mexico. The collaborative envisions a future where organizations will work together to reduce air emissions and make the heartland of America the Central Corridor of Innovation.
