System wide, San Diego’s Metropolitan Transit System transports about 320,000 people every day. Because they’re powered by tax payer money, MTS officials are diligent about making smart investments for their fleet. Bill Spraul, COO, reports the propane autogas vehicles perform almost exactly like their other technology. As an additional bonus, Spraul reports the ease of maintenance is improved with propane autogas, and propane systems blend seamlessly into their maintenance setup. Reducing emissions was a key driver for San Diego MTS to consider propane autogas vehicles, producing “the results we want, at a cost-savings,” says Paul Jablonski, CEO. Because of California’s stringent air quality goals, MTS presented propane autogas as a solution to reduce emissions while lower total cost-of-ownership. These unique benefits impressed the board and the decision to incorporate propane autogas was quick. Soon MTS will have over 70 propane autogas buses, which will also improve the organization’s bottom line even more.
