Twelve years ago GRTC began transitioning our fleet to compressed natural gas (CNG), a cleaner-burning fuel that produces approximately 20% lower greenhouse gas emissions than traditional diesel.
Today, nearly all fixed-route, Pulse buses and CARE vehicles operate on CNG.
This Earth Day, extend the impact. A gift to the Transit Access Partnership helps keep transit accessible for those who need it most, amplifying the environmental benefits of a cleaner fleet.
