New Buses Help Keep Our Air Clean
OCTA is replacing many of its diesel-powered buses with Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses. The CNG-fueled buses reduce emissions, which in turn helps keep our air cleaner. OCTA currently has 50 CNG buses in its fleet and is receiving 20 new CNG buses each month. If you would like to know more about OCTA’s new CNG buses, click here. |
