Below is a list of upcoming events, news, and additions to the Mecklenburg County Air Quality website.  Check back often to see what's going on.

 October 2008 - As a result of the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County's new 311 service, a 24/7 "one-stop shop" for access to local government services, all smoking vehicle calls to the 704-336-6859 line will be routed to a 311 customer service specialist who will take your report.  This represents a change from the previous procedure of leaving a voice mail for MCAQ.  A smoking vehicle report can also be made by simply dialing "311" to be connected to a customer service specialist. 

As with any new process, we anticipate that there will be areas where improvements will be needed.  If you experience any problems when reporting smoking vehicles by phone, please contact MCAQ at 704-336-5430 so that the problem can be addressed.  You may still report smoking vehicles via the online form, fax or email.
