Commission Actions

June 2003
As part of a larger action, allocated over $13.6 million in federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program funds to 11 Bay Area transit agencies to help finance the purchase of nearly 1,700 emission-control retrofit devices for diesel buses. MTC allocated nearly $1.8 million in local matching funds to supplement the federal commitment, which will be spread over the 2003–04 and 2004–05 fiscal years. Once installed, the retrofit systems are expected to re-duce oxides of nitrogen in the Bay Area by over 2,500 pounds per day and particulate matter by 300 pounds per day.
(MTC Resolution 3547)
