Metro Vancouver is responsible for monitoring air quality across the region. There are only two permanent air quality monitoring stations within the City and their readings aren't representative of the rest of Vancouver because of point sources nearby. Building another air quality monitoring station in a better location could help assess trends in ambient air quality across the City. Mobile monitoring studies could also be conducted along major traffic corridors or near suspected point sources to inform policy decisions.

Educational features such as signage and real-time displays could be incorporated into existing or new monitoring stations. This would help inform people of the impacts of their decisions (eg. transportation decisions) on local air quality.
