Metro has awarded a zero-cost, performance-based contract for the replacement of over 13,000 parking garage light fixtures in the next year—a key part of Metro’s Sustainability Agenda.
Under the 10-year contract, outdated and inefficient lighting will be replaced with new high-efficiency LED lighting that will create a brighter environment for riders, use less electricity, and lower costs. The contract was awarded to Philips Electronics through a competitive, technology-neutral procurement process that will be funded entirely through the resulting $2 million in energy and maintenance savings annually.
Metro has 25 parking facilities that will benefit from improved lighting as a result of the project. Read more.
