Air Quality
Currently, the Dallas/Ft Worth metroplex is in a air quality non-attainment region. This means that air pollution levels in the region persistently exceed national air quality standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency. Do your part in helping to keep the air clean for everyone. Replace old vehicles that don't meet emission standards and report smoking vehicles to the NCTCOG website.
