Episode 7: Clean Air, Earth Day, and the Future of Sustainable Transit

In this Earth Day–themed episode of Next Stop: SacRT, host Gregg Fishman sits down with two leaders dedicated to cleaning up Sacramento’s air: Jennifer Finton, Executive Director of Breathe Sacramento, and Alberto Ayala, Executive Director and Air Pollution Control Officer for the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District.

Together, they reflect on how far our region has come, from the days when summer haze obscured the Sierra Nevada, to today’s cleaner skies and major progress in meeting federal air quality standards.

Plus, learn how you can celebrate Earth Day with SacRT by trying transit on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, using a promotional flyer available at the link below.
