Amid wildfires and an ongoing pandemic, Air Quality Fellows from Stanford University’s Program on Urban Studies provided critical support to our work throughout Fall 2020. As covered by a new video about our air quality program and The Stanford Daily, 5 Stanford University students have partnered with our nonprofit as Air Quality Fellows to rapidly increase the program's community outreach and education. This partnership is with Sustainable Cities, a 2020 course of Stanford's Program on Urban Studies.
Working with our nonprofit partners Community Youth Center (CYC) and Central City SRO Collaborative, the Air Quality Fellows produced a data report and introductory booklet to air quality science. Additionally, students created 500 posters promoting this AB 617 Air Quality Monitoring Program for local businesses and large residential buildings.
Thanks to Brightline staff and our community partners, sensor installation was finalized on October 1st, 2020. Subscribe to our social media for more updates or check out our air quality map for your hourly AQI updates!
