Pollution Prevention Partnership (P3)

Pollution Prevention Partnership (P3) The Pollution Prevention Partnership (P3) started in 1995 to address air quality issues in Corpus Christi, an ozone near-nonattainment area. P3 resides in the Department of Community Outreach on the Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi campus. We deliver a broad range of services to business and the general public throughout the Coastal Bend.

With proper planning, pollution associated with vehicle traffic and traffic snarls can be minimized. A clean and effective transportation system can include bicycling as transportation. Through a partnership with the Metropolitan Planning Organization, Downtown Management District, City of Corpus Christi and funded by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, The Pollution Prevention Partnership has installed numerous bicycle racks throughout the downtown, uptown, and bay front area. A map of the bicycle rack locations and RTA bus routes (each bus has a bike rack) is available for download on the sidebar of this site.
