The City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) has begun deploying its fleet of new buses powered by compressed natural gas (CNG), according to a report in the Los Angeles Times.
The LADOT plans on putting a total of 95 CNG buses to work in its Commuter Express fleet in the next three months. The initiative is reported to cost the city $67 million – the majority of which is funded by federal grants. Local transportation funds will fill in the remaining costs.
