Need a couple of California photos

[John Mitton]

Hey gang,

I will be a panelist in a transportation and air quality discussion soon and wanted to showcase a few things that California is doing in this area. Would love it if someone could post the following photos here so I can import them into my presentation:

1. Billboard or other sign showing the toll-free hotline to call when you see a grossly polluting vehicle (or stationary source emission problem / smokestack).

2. Markers along the highway directing you to the nearest CNG / LPG station

3. CNG transit bus and or school bus with "clean air" type of slogan.

Thanks!!

No pics at this time, but this website might be of use to you:

See bottom of page:
"CELL PHONE USERS may now dial #SMOG to report smoking vehicles in greater California but this service is not available in all areas."

here 2 pictures. the 2nd one would show the CNG sign also on the ARCO sign in the background - if it were not overexposed and blurry. I'll try to redo it.
Update: added picture 3, a close-up with the CNG on the ARCO sign in the background.

Thank you OhMyGas! Hey you need to slow down on that off-ramp
Seriously if someone could post a less-blurry CNG directional sign from an off-ramp and possibly a side street that would be great!

Here's some shots of the CNG sign at the off-ramp to Disneyland.

I should have gotten out of the car for the shot. May try again, maybe with morning lighting instead of afternoon.

Perfect, perfect
Would love to have a sign showing a phone number to call in polluting vehicles. I'm sure I saw a billboard not to long ago when visiting S. Calif.

Re: Need a couple of California photos

I got out from behind the windshield and think these are a bit clearer...

Also, do you remember what area and freeway you were driving when you saw that pollution billboard?
Or what freeways do you drive when you're down this way?
I seem to recall seeing one too... maybe off I-60 or I-10, on the way out to the Cabezon outlets?
I could find a reason to head out that way!

Wow, can't remember just were the billboard was located. As I recall it was not on a freeway. The LA basin is all kinda a blur to us country folk

Good find, Lakewood.
