There are no additional fiscal implications associated with the recommended action at this time.

The purchase and installation of these units occurred in 2013 and 2019 and were funded by Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC) clean transportation grant funds and AB 2766 funds.

* Parking Lot #2 at 222 12th Street 2 stations
* Metlox Parking Lot at 451 Manhattan Beach Blvd 4 stations
* Joslyn Center at 1601 N. Valley Drive 2 stations
