This project was primarily for use in the San Fernando Valley. The bus routes covered a wide area in and around Sun Valley. The entire northern San Fernando Valley benefited from the reductions in emissions noted above.
The emission reductions achieved by the 12 CNG buses, operating an average of 18,000 miles each, per year, are estimated at: THC +451.98, CO -4.472.23, NOx -5043.16, and PM10 -1,663.80. NOx reduction for the 12 units @ 18,000 miles = 1,857.60 pounds annually.
Details of the conversion of regular buses to those adapted for the unique needs of special education vehicles, bus specifications, and emission statistics.
