Utah Clean Air Partnership - UCAIR Information

UCAIR is a statewide clean air partnership created to make it easier for individuals, businesses and communities to make small changes to improve Utah’s air. Every small change adds to a collective bigger step toward better health, a better economy and better overall quality of life for all of us. What We Do Educate The first step to changing behavior is understanding, which is why UCAIR focuses on education—education about why Utah needs to improve its air quality and education about the feasible things you can do every day to help make a collective improvement. Provide Grants UCAIR doesn’t just ask people to make changes; it helps make changes possible. UCAIR’s Grants program rewards organizations with creative and innovative ideas combined with resourceful planning to reach measurable emissions reductions. Partner Utah already has a strong framework of organizations that care about Utah’s air quality and work on initiatives to improve it. UCAIR’s goal is to provide a table where all of them can sit as partners. At this table air quality groups can combine their talents and capabilities to coordinate messaging, share data and strengthen efforts statewide to improve air quality. Invite Participation While UCAIR works very closely with partner organizations, it also seeks to involve Utah residents across the state in its efforts to improve air quality, including crafting and implementing technical solutions for air quality issues. UCAIR is not an advocacy group, and by policy is prohibited from engaging in lobbying activities or otherwise attempting to influence legislation. UCAIR recognizes partner organizations may choose to engage in these activities. UCAIR intends to adhere to policy in this regard, separate and apart from any partnership agreement. UCAIR will endeavor to support the efforts of partners to extent that this support does not conflict with the policy under which it operates.
