Propane transit buses help rural Minnesota Indian reservation thrive
In Northwestern Minnesota, White Earth Public Transit sought alternative fueling options to reduce fuel costs and improve the reliability of services to residents of the state’s largest Indian reservation in one of the most rural and coldest regions in the state. It began exploring propane autogas as a fuel source.
“We have many propane suppliers in our area, so we did some research on the propane fuel option and thought we would try it,” said White Earth Public Transit Manager Kenneth Bakken. “We tried conversions first.”
