About air quality in central Indiana: Thanks to the cooperation of area businesses and residents, air quality in central Indiana has been improving for many years. Federal air quality standards have become stricter in recent years, so there is more work to do. Reducing vehicle idling, filling gas tanks and mowing after 6 p.m., riding IndyGo and carpooling are great ways to make a difference in air quality.
