At the regional level, the District of Columbia and surrounding jurisdictions have already made natural gas vehicles an essential part of their fleet. 461 WMATA buses, all 62 Arlington Transit’s buses, 102 Ride-On buses and 122 refuse trucks in Montgomery County, 169 street sweepers, refuse trucks, dump trucks and cars from the District of Columbia government and 221 trucks and cars from Washington Gas operate with natural gas fuel. Together, they saved millions of dollars each year in fuel and operating costs.

GWRCCC would like to thank the event’s sponsors, the District of Columbia Government Department of Public Works, NGV America, Washington Gas, Trillium CNG, the American Gas Association and the American Public Gas Association for their support to make this event a great success. We’d also like to congratulate Director Christopher Shorter, who have been a leader in DC clean fleets for the past years for his leadership award that was presented to him during the event. His dedication to helping the District’s with safe and clean streets and roads is nothing but notable and encouraging.
