Rise South City AQI App
​
Over the past few months we have worked with Stanford to create a bilingual tool that put air quality information directly in the hands of South San Francisco residents.
Our new bilingual AQI App puts real-time local air quality information at your fingertips — helping South San Francisco residents stay informed, understand health risks, and take action when it matters most.
​
Rise South City is proud to maintain an ongoing partnership with Stanford University, working together to bring cutting-edge research, student talent, and community-centered solutions to the frontlines of climate action in South San Francisco.
"I got involved because I'm concerned about environmental pollution and because we need to plant more trees."
