860 Truck Way land purchase for hydrogen fueling station
Montebello
Summary
The city is spending $2.22 million from the transit fund to buy a half-acre lot near its bus yard for a permanent hydrogen fueling station, needed as Montebello Bus Lines switches to zero-emission fuel-cell buses by 2040. Staff hope to eventually sell hydrogen retail to recoup costs.
