The new Tulsa Transit fueling facility is designed to support the agency’s growing fleet of CNG-powered buses and paratransit vehicles.
The new fueling station will be equipped with 39 time-fill posts and one fast-fill CNG dispenser.
The company said the station will support the agency’s accelerating program to replace 100% of its diesel-powered bus fleet with clean, green, cost-efficient CNG models.
Clean Energy, a provider of natural gas fuel for transportation in North America, plans to launch the CNG fueling station in September this year.
Currently Tulsa Transit is engaged in deploying 63 fixed-route buses and 49 paratransit vehicles in a 197square-mile area that includes the communities of Tulsa, Jenks, Broken Arrow and Sand Springs.
Tulsa Transit expects to add 35 new CNG paratransit vehicles and 15 CNG buses to its fleet, replacing diesel models as they are retired from service this year.
Costing less than diesel, natural gas fuel produces up to 23% lower greenhouse gas emissions in medium to heavy-duty vehicle applications.
