NGVs at San Diego
Transit
San
Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E)
has a strong and growing program to foster the
use of compressed natural gas as a clean fuel
for both public and private vehicles. SDG&E
worked closely with the Metropolitan Transit
Development Board (MTDB) in San Diego County,
for instance, to add many more NGV buses to
its fleet of about 700.
SDG&E urged the
North County Transit District to obtain natural
gas buses: NCTD has six such buses in operation
and 27 more on order. SDG&E also helped create
a network of 17 private and public natural gas-fueling
stations in San Diego County, and four new public
refueling stations are planned.
