Two local initiatives are helping
expand clean transportation
and advance innovative, low-emission
community projects through
support from South Coast AQMD’s
AB 2766 Subvention Program and
the Mobile Source Air PollutionReduction Review Committee (MSRC).
On November 3,
2025, the City of
Fontana celebrated
the grand opening
of Segment Two
of the San Sevaine
Trail—an important
milestone for
active transportation in the Inland
Empire. The 1.25-mile extension links
Fontana and Rancho Cucamonga
along the Etiwanda Creek Flood
Control Channel and was supported
with $500,000 in MSRC Clean
Transportation Funding. The project
added new safety features, including
solar lighting and chain-link fencing,
and was made possible through
collaboration among the Cities of
Fontana and Rancho Cucamonga, the
San Bernardino County Transportation
Authority (SBCTA), and the California
Department of Parks and Recreation.
By improving safe routes for walking
and biking, the trail encourages
residents to choose cleaner, more
sustainable ways to travel, helping
reduce emissions in surrounding
neighborhoods. The MSRC continues
to support similar efforts through
local partnerships, including its
recent collaboration with SBCTA
on the Highland-Redlands Regional
Connector to enhance pedestrian and
cyclist access along Orange Street.
South Coast AQMD is also supporting
local innovation in La Cañada
Flintridge, where the city is advancing
its efforts to electrify its Rose Parade
float. Through the agency’s AB
2766 Subvention Program, the city
authorized the use of $81,930 in motor
vehicle funds to help purchase electric
drivetrain motor components for its
2027 entry. Building on earlier steps
to introduce electric power to its 2025
float, this investment will further
reduce the use of combustion engines
and support cleaner parade operations
at one of the region’s most celebrated
community events.
