“With a propane fueling infrastructure, propane is the most cost-effective alt fuel system. We saved $9.6 million in fuel costs alone compared with gasoline over the past 7 years. Add in the alt fuel credits and we saved $13.4 million. And that doesn’t include the Florida incentives we received.” — Paul Strobis, director of paratransit, Broward County Transit (Florida)
