Shuttle Buses
Propane-fueled shuttle buses provide reliable transportation within airport complexes, corporate and university campuses, parks, and hospital systems. Propane’s efficiency and affordability make propane-fueled shuttle buses a wise choice for demanding, high-mileage routes that require frequent idling.

Propane shuttle buses can also help fleet managers comply with federal
requirements for alternative fuel vehicles and help park operations
minimize the environmental impacts of passenger vehicle traffic.
Fleet
operators can incorporate propane shuttle buses into their fleets by
retrofitting vehicles to use propane or by purchasing new propane-fueled
buses. Either approach can help to reduce shuttle fleet emissions with a
reasonable initial investment.
Propane-fueled shuttle buses
offer the following benefits:
• A viable pathway for complying
with federal alternative fuel vehicle requirements for fleets.
•
Simple, often on-site, refueling processes.
• Cost-effective
development of on-site refueling infrastructure.
• Purchase or
conversion rebates and incentives offered by federal and state
organizations.
• Tax credits and exemptions on refueling costs.
•
Improved fuel efficiency over personal vehicles; selected shuttle buses
can be approximately three times more fuel efficient than passenger
cars.
