    • Abstract:
      Since the inception of the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Alternative Fuels Initiative (API) Program in 1988, 61 grants have been awarded to purchase over 1000 alternative fueled vehicles. FTA's AFI Program has provided over $185 million in Federal funds for this deployment of alternative fueled vehicles into transit revenue service operations. The AFI Program approach has always been to allow the local transit decision-makers the choice of the technology and fuel that is best suited for their particular operation. As a result, a variety of technologies and fuels are being tested in diverse locations across the country. This Technical Brief profiles four AFI project sites, each testing a different alternative fuel: Pierce Transit's compressed natural gas (CNG) buses, Houston Metro' s liquefied natural gas (LNG) buses, Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (LACMTA) methanol buses, and Greater Peoria Mass Transit District's (GP Transit) ethanol buses. The case studies were selected in order to discuss four different alternative fuels that are under primary consideration in localities across the country.
