Perea Supports Fresno to Tune In and Tune Up

Fresno, CA (September 11, 2007) On Saturday, September 15th Valley Clean Air, the Bureau of Automotive Repair, the Advanced Transportation Technology, the Energy Initiative and Fresno City College will host the 5th annual Tune In and Tune Up Car Clean Up Event. Council President Perea would like to encourage Fresno residents to take advantage of this program that provides financial assistance to update older cars to meet smog test standards. Emissions tests will be conducted on site and coupons worth up to $500 will be provided for needed repairs.

“The poor air quality in the San Joaquin Valley is one of the most important issues facing my generation of leaders. Currently we do not meet health standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency and this has to change. Older cars that aren’t up to smog standards are some of the biggest polluters and this is a great chance for everyone in Fresno to help change that.”
