Looking at Autogas Across America
In May, two South Dakota transit agencies unveiled the state’s first-ever propane buses. The joint event in Spearfish, South Dakota, brought more than 50 community members, lawmakers, regulators and reporters to celebrate a new era in clean public transportation for South Dakota. Guest speakers included the mayor of Spearfish and Joel Jundt, the secretary of transportation for the South Dakota Department of Transportation.
Attendees were able to view a fuel demonstration and ride in one of the new vehicles. The event highlights a significant shift in the transit industry away from diesel and gasoline toward vehicles powered by environmentally friendly alternative fuels.
