Fort Worth receives new CNG Vehicles
The Fort Worth Transportation Authority, The T, has now received the remaining balance of the 75 new CNG-fueled vehicles originally ordered to aid greater Fort Worths fight against air pollution. The T now has 90 percent of their 235 transit bus fleet fueled by the clean burning compressed natural gas (CNG). The fleet also becomes 100 percent accessible to people with disabilities. The 30- and 35-foot buses, manufactured by New Flyer, will allow the retirement of older diesel vehicles. The Dallas-Fort Worth region has been declared se4riously deficient in meeting federally-mandated air quality standards.
