Local Partnerships Advance Clean Transportation and Community Innovation

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.
