...AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT CDT TONIGHT...

The Indiana Department of Environmental Management has called for an
Air Quality Action Day for high levels of Ozone or in the air for
today, Monday, June 5th for the following Southwest Indiana
counties,


Vanderburgh, Posey, Warrick, Spencer, Gibson, and Pike.

This alert is in effect from midnight tonight to midnight CDT Monday

Here are some recommended actions that the public can take to reduce
Ozone emissions:

* Walk, bike, carpool, or use public transportation
* Avoid using the drive-through and combine errands into one
trip

equipment until after 7 pm
* Turn off your engine when idling for more than 30 seconds
* Conserve energy by turning off lights or setting the air
conditioner to 75 degrees or above.

Anyone sensitive to changes in air quality may be affected when
Ozone levels are high. Children, the elderly, and anyone with heart
or lung conditions should reduce or avoid exertion and heavy work
outdoors.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEVV) — An Evansville nonprofit is offering to cover the cost of your Lyft ride home this Memorial Day weekend in a continued effort to prevent drinking and driving.

Logan's Promise and Working Distributors are partnering up to cover Lyft rides up to $25 this Memorial Day weekend.

The offering is available from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. from on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

To take advantage of the $25 credit, just use promo code "SAFEMEMORIAL2023" when ordering your Lyft ride.

If your ride ends up costing more than $25, you'll just have to pay the difference.

The deal is only meant to cover rides home, and won't take anyone to a bar or party.

Logan's Promise works to provide safe rides home on various holidays in an effort to prevent drunk drinking.
