Barnesville School District Gets Propane-Fueled Buses
The Intelligencer
When it came time for the Barnesville Exempted Village School District to replace its aging fleet of diesel buses, district leaders had options about what kind of fuel the new buses would use. A $201,000 Diesel Emissions Reduction Grant from the federal government, which covered 90 percent of the cost, led them to look at compressed natural gas or propane. Barnesville just missed out a DERG from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, which would have covered 100 percent of the costs.
