• Upcoming Events:
  • We would like to invite you to a series of two community action and advocacy planning sessions to develop a consensus plan to invest $10,000 in specific actions using data from the STAIR network. These events are open to all Orlando area residents including sensor hosts, community organizations, and local leaders. Representatives from the City of Orlando and Orange County Environmental Protection Division will also be at each session to discuss air quality and environmental planning.
    • Monday, May 1, 2023 from 1-2pm on Zoom: During this meeting we will provide a very brief overview of the project, how to access and interpret the air quality data, and answer any questions or concerns that you may have about the data. We will record this meeting and make it available to anyone upon request.
    • Monday, May 8 from 5-7:30pm in-person at UCF Downtown: During this meeting, UCF will facilitate the discussions and planning process and will arrange to spend the money requested (with some restrictions). Participants should attend the first meeting or watch the recording in order to participate in the second meeting.
