California's 6488 Bay Area Climate Collaborative (BACC) and 6340 Swarco Traffic Americas are to collaborate to advance the market for energy efficient, adaptive lighting technologies through the Bay Area Next Generation Streetlight Initiative, a region-wide project to upgrade 200,000+ municipal street lights to advanced light-emitting diode (LED) technology.
Swarco's sponsorship of the BACC's Bay Area Next Generation Streetlight Initiative will support advancement of new street light technology that will improve municipal budgets and strengthen the local economy. Through the Initiative, the BACC is supporting local governments with leading edge analytics, resources and educational opportunities to accelerate action with a target of catalysing the upgrade of 200,000 streetlights. Over five years, the upgrades will deliver up to US$50 million in reduced costs for local governments, over 100,000 metrics tons of CO2 avoidance, and many jobs.
