Lower Operating and Maintenance Costs:

“We’re saving a total of 32 cents per mile with propane autogas.”

“We needed these buses to perform without issue from the moment we got them, and they did. They’ve been reliable and inexpensive to operate.”

Ron Latko, Director of Transportation, Mesa Unified School District No. 4 in Phoenix, Arizona.

"We choose propane autogas because not only does it represent significant reduced fuel costs and clean-burning properties, but also because the source is in abundant supply right here in America.”

"With today's tight school budgets, using a transportation fuel that saves taxpayers money, keeps the environment clean, and keeps jobs within our national borders is a win-win for everyone. Plus, our drivers love how quiet the propane buses perform."

William Schofield, Superintendent, Hall County Schools, Hall County, Georgia
