- National Award for Smart Growth Achievement
Through the National Award for Smart Growth Achievement, EPA seeks to recognize and support public entities (from cities to state governments and the many types of public entities in between) that promote and achieve smart growth, while at the same time bringing about direct and indirect environmental benefits. Smart growth development practices support national environmental goals by preserving open spaces and parkland and protecting critical habitat; improving transportation choices, including walking, bicycling, and transit, which reduces emissions from automobiles; promoting brownfield redevelopment; and reducing impervious surfaces, which improves water quality.
- Clean Air Excellence Awards
The Clean Air Excellence Awards Program is sponsored by the EPA's Office of Air and Radiation.
