Last summer, the MSRC, the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach entered into a unique partnership to reduce air pollution in Port-adjacent communities. Each Port signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the South Coast Air Quality Management District, on behalf of the MSRC, to enable the Ports to partner with the MSRC to provide funding for zero-emission truck charging infrastructure projects to support cleaner goods movement operations. Now, the projects are ready to roll out.

Voltu Motor will deploy 10 new Ford F350 Class 2B/3 medium-duty electric pickup trucks as part of a pilot project for the City of Riverside’s Fleet Initiative. The MSRC is providing $300,000 in Clean Transportation Funding in partnership with the South Coast Air Quality Management District, which is contributing $300,000 from its Clean Fuels Program Fund, to help support this initiative.
