Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich, member of the Governing Board of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD), has secured a $300,000 grant from the Mobile Sources Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee to operate a no-cost Express Bus connecting Dodger Stadium to Union Station for the 2010 season.  

“Dodger fans across the County can now avoid the traffic, save gas and help improve air quality by using public transit and our new Dodger Express Bus to get to the game,“ said Supervisor Antonovich.  

State-of-the-art 40-foot clean-burning compressed natural gas buses will run between Union station and Dodger Stadium every 10 minutes prior to the start of the game and run approximately every 30 minutes throughout the game.  Union Station is served by Metro buses and rail, Metrolink, and many regional bus lines.  Dodger game admission tickets will be honored as fare payment to ride the bus.  For specific route and schedule information, visit www.metro.net or call 1-800-COMMUTE.

Supervisor Antonovich will join officials from the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) on Monday, March 22, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. at Dodger Stadium to unveil a new Express Bus Service.  

Supervisor Antonovich serves on the Board of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the South Coast Air Quality Management District.
