Use of Alternative Fuels and Hybrids by Small Urban and Rural Transit
Summary. A survey of 115 small urban and rural transit agencies reveals that larger and urban providers adopt alternative fuels and hybrids more readily than smaller rural operators. Agencies pursue these technologies primarily for emissions reductions, public perception, and cost savings. Rural adoption lags due to concerns about infrastructure costs and fuel supply availability. The study documents actual experiences with biodiesel, E85, propane, natural gas, and hybrid vehicles across different community sizes.
