This year's Work Program is bigger and better, with more than $22 million in Clean Transportation Funding in nine project categories available, making this one of the most diverse Work Programs ever. Some of the categories are tried-and-true programs that continue to be the cornerstone of the MSRC's annual Work Program; however, some of the categories are new and reflect the changing transportation needs and new technologies at work.
Matt Raymond, the MSRC's newest member, enjoys the challenge that comes with providing efficient and innovative transportation programs to a large metropolitan area like Los Angeles, which is what brought him to Metro nearly nine years ago.
Matt is Metro's Chief Communications Officer, overseeing a comprehensive communications program that involves marketing several major capital projects, and building Metro's brand recognition. The positive perception of Metro is now at record levels, thanks to Matt's work. "I came to Metro because of the challenge Los Angeles presented from a transportation environment, looking at where it was and what it is today," Matt said. "Metro presented a great opportunity to help shape the future of transportation and make a difference."
Republic Services is literally in the business of cleaning up our environment. Now, even more of the vehicles the company uses to clean up local communities are cleaner themselves, thanks to Clean Transportation Funding from the MSRC.
