How many of these do you have in your city? Do buses run free on those days?

Austin has "Ozone Action Day"s all through the hot stinking summer here. Every clear, sunny day produces too much ozone for a healthy level. When the levels get too high, they declare it "OAD". You are asked to only fill the tank after dark, carpool, etc. Bummer.

Most of the larger US cities have ozone action days when the smog level is higher. Every city I've lived in has had them, and the larger ones have it permanently in place.

When I lived in Milwakeee Wisconsin we had "ozone alerts" a few times each summer. Sometimes they'd last a couple days. Buses didn't run free. That only happens on New Years and St Pat's because everyone is liquored up. Ozone doesn't have any sort of narcotic effect so it's business as usual with the public transportation. But supposedly if you went outside during 1 of these alerts and didn't have your NASA gear on you'd be vaporized. I'm still here though. I may by an anomaly.
And yes, DO NOT use all caps. It is rude. Like when someone screams at you and it breaks up your ears, using all caps breaks up the readers vision. So many capitol letters so close to each other can be painful to look at.

I have never heard of it before, so I guess my city has none, is there a website for it? Maybe with info I could get my city to pick it up.

No, we don't have that where I live. I guess they're trying to do some good, but sounds like it sucks.
