text: As the pollution rate has continued to increase throughtout the years, different countries have incouraged less driving for less pollution. For example, In Bogota, Columbia, their "goal is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog." Other places, like Paris, banned driving to "clear the air of the global city." This is due to "days of near-record pollution." The smog cleared after two days of no driving. Having alternative ways of transportation is a way to reduce air pollution.
