Tomorrow is a Spare the Air Day.
In response to feedback from last year’s campaign, BART and Ferry’s will be free in the morning, but not in the afternoon (cutting down on the joyriding encountered last year).
For those concerned with Air Quality, tomorrow’s one day you can personally do something about it. Use 511.org to plan a Transit Trip (available on the front page under “transit”)
From the Air Dist:
