Abstract:The Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) Alternative Fuel Initiative and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 1991 regulations on transit bus exhaust emissions has resulted in a number of alternative fueled transit bus demonstrations. Since the chemical and physical properties for compressed natural gas (CNG) are significantly different than for diesel fuel, a training program is needed. The purpose of this program was to inform transit employees of the characteristics of CNG and to instruct them in the proper use and handling of the new fuel in various transit operations. This manual describes CNG fuel use in transit, including CNG properties, flammability, advantages, effects on health, along with safety precautions and procedures, and operating transit vehicles with CNG.
