On a recent bright, sunny Sunday afternoon, MSRC Member Jack Kitowski represented the MSRC on one of the biggest stages in LA when he threw out the first pitch at Dodger Stadium as part of a promotional event to celebrate the success of the clean transportation program. August 11 was MSRC/Metro Day where members of the MSRC, including Jack Kitowski and Mark Yamarone, and members of the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) Board were on the field for pre-game festivities to commemorate the 9th year of the Dodger Stadium Express.
With the dog days of summer upon us, it’s time to look forward to the fall, and with that cooler weather and more opportunities to spend time outdoors. For the first time in Orange County, seven cities - La Habra, Buena Park, Anaheim, Stanton, Garden Grove, Westminster, and Huntington Beach – will be hosting a multi-community festival to celebrate active transportation with an Open Streets event along Beach Boulevard on November 7 called “Meet on Beach”.
Located on the campus of the University of California, Irvine (UCI), the most frequently used hydrogen fueling station in the state recently received approval to expand its facility, thanks to a special funding partnership between the MSRC, the South Coast Air Quality Management District, and the California Energy Commission. The MSRC will contribute $1 million in Clean Transportation Funding to the project from its Hydrogen Infrastructure Partnership Program, providing more than half of the project capital.
