About this event

  • 2 hours

We need your help to improve public health and air quality in unincorporated South Sacramento!

Join residents and community-based groups on Saturday June 22nd, from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM at Valley Hi-North Laguna Library to learn about vehicle emissions impacts to public health, and how you can improve air quality in unincorporated South Sacramento.

Sacramento residents face many health challenges due to poor air quality and some communities are more impacted than others by vehicle emission exposure due, in part, to their proximity to major roads and freeways. This community-led event is one of many efforts across Sacramento County to address and take action on public health impacts from vehicle emissions.

This event is a part of the Sacramento County Vehicle Emissions Project funded by the California Department of Justice. The effort is led by a diverse coalition conducting mobile air monitoring and assessing health impacts in the West Arden Arcade, North Highlands, South Sacramento, North Vineyard and Gardenland-Northgate areas.

There will be free food, live entertainment, and prizes! Please RSVP for food and event planning purposes, and to guarantee a spot at the event.

If you have language needs or require other accommodations, please email Kathy Saechou by end of day June 14th, 2024 at kathy.saechou@valleyvision.org.
