Today is Clean Air Day!

Reducing levels of harmful air pollution in our communities will have immediate health benefits for all of us, helping both children and adults live longer and healthier lives.

Air pollution is linked to a range of health problems throughout our lives – from premature birth and childhood asthma to heart and lung disease, diabetes and strokes in later life.

Here’s three simple ways you can help to clean up the air this and beyond:

1. Walk, wheel, or cycle when you can, especially using quieter streets away from traffic 🚲
2. Consider switching to public transport for shorter journeys around your community 🚌
3. If you do have to drive, remember to switch off your engine when you stop 🚗

Cleaning up dirty air will not only improve everyone’s health, but it can also boost our local economy and help protect our natural environment.

Find out how you can help clean up the air at cleanairhub.org.uk.

Public and stakeholder feedback to date for Aberdeen Rapid Transit has highlighted the importance of the design of future vehicles, with strong support for a branded, zero-emission, tram-style vehicle.

Later this week and next, we’re bringing an example vehicle of this style to the North East to showcase what it could look like.

We'll be at various locations over eight days and would love to welcome you on board and chat about the project!

We're prepping for this week's unveiling of the ART demonstrator vehicle. Come along, visit the vehicle and meet the team over the next week.
