Transportation and Air Quality
Partnerships
EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ) partnerships aim to achieve measurable environmental results in a cost-effective and beneficial way without the need for regulation. These programs can reduce pollution and improve air quality by means of forming partnerships with small and large businesses, citizen groups, industry, manufacturers, trade associations, and state and local governments.
Partners in these programs work together to improve environmental performance and in return receive such benefits as cost savings, public recognition, and the satisfaction of knowing that they are helping to clean the air. The results from these programs are impressive. Learn more about our programs and see how you can participate.
