LOS
ANGELES COUNTY, CALIF. –
The public agency that
built the Alameda Corridor freight rail expressway is providing surplus personal
computers to three local schools. The
Governing Board of the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority (ACTA) voted
June 13 to donate 10 personal computers to Wilmington Middle School, six
personal computers to Holy Family Grammar School in Wilmington and five personal
computers to Wilmington Park School. ACTA
has made similar donations in the past, including six personal computers each to
Jordan High School and Banning High School in September 2001. “These
personal computers donated by the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority
directly benefit local schools by providing additional tools to enhance the
learning environment for students," said Los Angeles City Councilwoman
Janice Hahn, Vice Chairwoman of the ACTA Governing Board. ACTA
Chief Executive Officer James C. Hanka said the agency plans to make additional
donations of surplus equipment to non-profit organizations as agency operations
wind down. ACTA
is a joint powers authority governed by the cities and ports of Long Beach and
Los Angeles. The agency built the
Alameda Corridor, a 20-mile-long freight rail expressway linking the ports to
the rail yards east of downtown Los Angeles.
Alameda Corridor opened to freight rail traffic on April 15. NEWS
