Mobile
Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee
Since
formed in 1990, the MSRC has allocated over $107 million toward
the implementation of projects that reduce mobile source emissions.
Approximately half of the funds allocated to projects, selected
in response to over 60 RFP solicitations, have gone to support
the conversion of vehicles to clean fuels and the creation
of the supporting infrastructure. To date, approximately 10,700
tons of emissions have been reduced as a result of the MSRCs
investments. This has brought both local and national recognition.
MSRC programs are funded through California Assembly Bill
2766, which each year, through vehicle registration fees,
generates approximately $12 million to support innovative
projects that reduce air pollution from motor vehicles operating
within Southern Californias South Coast Air District.
The MSRC, with the assistance of the Technical Advisory Committee,
establishes and adopts Work Programs and recommended RFPs
for the distribution of these funds. Once approved by the
Governing Board of the SCAQMD, RFPs are released and proposals
are solicited from both public sector and private parties
for competitive review and award.
For additional information on the MSRC and an up-to-the-minute
status of current RFPs, we suggest you check out the MSRC
