DISCUSSION
California Clean Air Day is a statewide initiative created and spearheaded by the Coalition for Clean Air (CCA) Organization. CCA was founded in 1971 and focuses on advocating for clean air solutions across the state of California. Each October, organizations and community groups participate in California Clean Air Day to promote emission reducing habit changes and educating the public about air quality topics. In 2023, over 330 organizations, 22 transit agencies, and 16,500 individual participants submitted pledges and/or hosted events on Clean Air Day. For the past several years, Menifee has committed to participating in this statewide effort through City Council proclamation and a series of community events designed to be fun and engaging. Additionally, these activities help to further community knowledge of state emission reduction legislation under Senate Bill 1383.
In recognition of October 2, 2024, as Clean Air Day in California, the Community Services Department has organized a series of activities during the first week of October. These activities include contests, social media campaigns, an employee event, and the Electric Car Show and Clean Air Expo, scheduled for Saturday, October 5, 2024, at Mt. San Jacinto College. To recognize Menifee’s participation in Clean Air Day efforts, CCA has awarded a $500 microgrant
