Metrolink’s Current Practices to Reduce Noise and Air Pollution •
Automatic Engine Start Stop – prevents unnecessary idling, reducing fuel use and emissions. In 2010‐11 this reduced the amount of fuel used by 860,000 gallons. Currently 33 of our 52 locomotives are equipped with this technology. We are waiting additional funding from AQMD to equip the remaining 19 locomotives.
•
Use of Ultra Low Sulfur Fuel – Metrolink uses the cleanest diesel fuel available to power our locomotives. We are also working with industry leaders to explore alternative fuel and battery power options.
•
Fleet Upgrades – by 2016, we anticipate replacing 30 of our Tier Zero locomotives with Tier III Plus, and 22 of the Tier II locomotives with Tier IV advanced technology if the funding is available and the technology is developed. These new locomotives will be more fuel efficient and reduce particulate matter (PM) by 95% and Nitrous Oxide (NOX) by 86%. We are currently working with AQMD to identify needed funds for our goals.
•
HEP Vehicles ‐‐ Our entire fleet of passenger cars are at Tier II. They do not run off of the locomotive, but from a separate engine. We are currently planning to rehabilitate these to Tier IV and are considering pilot tests to use alternative power sources such as battery power.

Maintenance, servicing and testing done during business hours to avoid disrupting sleep and weekend recreation activities.

Without Metrolink Service, an additional 24,000 vehicles would be on the roads each day.
•
AQMD responds to every complaint regarding potential emission violations. Metrolink has never been out of compliance.
