Zero-Emission Initiative Theme:
The City of Santa Clarita is making major strides toward a cleaner, more sustainable future. In 2025, we’re rolling out new zero-emission initiatives to help reduce our carbon footprint, improve local air quality, and provide reliable transit options for our community. Zero emissions means absolutely zero harmful pollutants are emitted into the air from our transit vehicles. This translates to a healthier environment, improved air quality, and supports better public health.
