OUR ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT

The entire fleet of CCTA buses began operating with an 80/20 biodiesel blend in the spring of 2007. Biodiesel is a clean burning alternative fuel made from vegetable oils and animal fats that releases fewer harmful toxins into the air, including sulfur and carbon, two materials largely responsible for acid rain and global warming.

In 2007, CCTA received 12 new buses, drastically reducing the emissions output of the fleet. The Authority is committed to operating with the cleanest technology available, and has been working to receive the funding necessary to replace all outdated buses with new, low emission clean diesel buses.

As an organization, CCTA also pursues environmental responsibility, employing various conservation efforts in the administrative offices and maintenance facility, including oil and antifreeze recycling.
