Embarking on its 20th year, the MSRC has announced its latest Work Program, providing more than $5.65 million in Clean Transportation Funding for two tried-and-true programs and one which revisits a promising strategy. The MSRC's Work Program is comprised of the projects it will fund during the upcoming fiscal year. The MSRC previously awarded $7.6 million in FY 2009-10 funding through its Local Government Match Program.
San Fernando Mayor Steve Veres is the most recent addition to the MSRC community. And that's a real plus, because community has always been what drives the newest MSRC member.
One look at his background tells you that Veres is someone who likes to connect with people and help improve the quality of life as well as sense of community. He's served on his city council for six years, but also worked as a teacher, editor of his community newspaper, and as District Director for two California State Assemblymembers.
A near-fatal car crash brought Go Natural Gas' business partners Timothy Nelligan and Joshua Radwan together in 2007. They have been working as a team ever since to help clean up the air. The MSRC helped them in their mission by providing Go Natural Gas with $250,000 in Clean Transportation Funding to build a publicly-accessible CNG fueling dispenser.
