California Airports Partnership Air Quality Improvement Project
Location: California: Los Angeles International, San Francisco International, Oakland International, and San Diego International Airports
The West Coast Collaborative is pleased to announce that EPA has selected the California Airports Partnership Air Quality Improvement Project for $895,827 in EPA funding. The project will be implemented with $1,015,325 in leveraged funds. This project will retrofit or replace 34 heavily used vehicles at Los Angeles International (LAX), San Francisco International (SFO), Oakland International (OAK), and San Diego International (SAN) airports. The vehicles, which include land-based emergency vehicles, in-airport shuttles, and regional shuttle buses, will be retrofitted with diesel reduction devices or replaced with engines that operate on compressed natural gas (CNG) or B20 biofuel, which are proven by EPA to produce up to 85% less PM and 50% less NOx than traditional diesel engines.
