The Air Quality Forum is a policy committee comprised of local elected officials, air quality and transportation agency personnel, and business and community group representatives. The Forum reviews regional air quality issues and makes policy recommendations regarding those issues to the MARC Board of Directors and the states of Kansas and Missouri.

There are 31 seats on the Forum. Local governments occupy 21 seats, four are held by state air and transportation agencies, three by business and economic development concerns, and three are designated for health and environmental groups.

The Forum is current seeking nominations for new members.
