Pollution Prevention Partnership (P3)
The Pollution Prevention Partnership (P3) started in 1995 to address air quality issues in Corpus Christi, an ozone near-nonattainment area. The Pollution Prevention Partnership delivers a broad range of environmental assistance programs and services including environmental education, pollution prevention, and environmental compliance assistance to citizens, schools, businesses, industry, and governments throughout the Coastal Bend. P3 and AutoCheck are operated by Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Office of Research Engagement and supported by the Port of Corpus Christi Authority.
