Abstract:The Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) Alternative Fuels initiative (AFI) and the Environmental Protection Ageny (EPA) 1991 regulations on transit bus exhaust emissions has resulted in a number of alternative fueled transit bus demonstrations. There were approximately 60 buses in revenue service using neat methanol fuel (M-100) in 1989. Since the chemical and physical properties of methanol are significantly different than for diesel fuel, a training manual is needed. The purpose of this program was to inform transit employees of the characteristics of methanol and to instruct them in the proper use and handling of the new fuel in varioous transit operations. The training manual has been used in training transit personnel at Seattle Metro, Riverside Transit Agency, Triboro, Southern California Rapid Transit District, and Denver-Regional Transportation District.
