“This is a major achievement in pursuit of our regional air quality goals and an important step in addressing climate change,” said Councilmember Krekorian, a member of the Metrolink Board of Directors. “When Metrolink adopted the Climate Action Plan last March, adoption of renewable fuel was considered a ‘stretch goal.’ Now, less than 13 months later, 100 percent renewable fuel is a reality.”
Krekorian, who also serves on the board of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), added, “Like the ongoing electrification of Metro buses, the City’s EV Master Plan for an all-electric fleet, and our LA100 Plan for carbon-free electricity, Metrolink’s bold action on renewable fuel proves that local governments and regional transportation agencies are taking the lead in improving local air quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”
