Transit:
Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART)
Plans to Convert Entire Bus Fleet to CNG and Signs Multi-year
Agreement with Clean Energy to Maintain DART’s Four CNG Fueling
Stations
• DART plans to deploy 580 compressed
natural gas (CNG) vehicles to support its transportation service
for the greater-Dallas-area. Once fully deployed, these vehicles
are forecasted to use approximately seven million
gasoline-gallon-equivalents (GGEs) per year.
• Clean Energy designed and built the four
CNG fueling stations for the DART network in 2012.
“DART is one of the largest transit fleets in Texas,
operating in 13 cities and covering 700 square miles. By
transitioning our entire fleet to CNG and contracting with Clean
Energy, we are able to offer our nearly 40 million annual bus
customers a more sustainable and cost-efficient transit
experience.” --Mike Hubbell, vice president of maintenance,

Refuse:
Smithtown, New York, Renews
Natural Gas Contract with Clean Energy for Seven More Years
• In 2006, Smithtown became the first
community on the East Coast to require all residential refuse and
recycling contractors to use natural gas powered trucks. As a
result, four private collection contractors operating on behalf of
Smithtown and the Town’s own municipal vehicle fleet began fueling
with Clean Energy.
• The 25 compressed natural gas vehicles
serving Smithtown are expected to consume approximately 250,000
GGEs of CNG per year.
“In 2006, Smithtown saw the potential of natural gas in a
way many other communities were still discovering. Making the
switch to natural gas has proven to be a smart investment from both
an economic and environmental perspective. We look forward to
continuing a very successful relationship with Clean Energy.”
--Russell K. Barnett, environmental protection director,
Smithtown, New York

An insider’s look at what this means for the Alternative Fuel
Industry from Clean Energy’s President and CEO, Andrew J.
Littlefair:
We’ve begun the year with important expansions in our nationwide
network including the opening of the first LNG station in Florida
today. Florida has taken several steps to support the adoption of
natural gas vehicles and we’re expanding the necessary
infrastructure accordingly to support this forward-looking state.
Heavy-duty truck fleets have also begun filling up at our Pontoon
Beach, Ill., and Fontana, Calif., stations as the heavy-duty
trucking segment continues its transition to natural gas across the
country. The New Year also saw longtime customers such as DART and
the city of Smithtown sign new fueling contracts with Clean Energy,
which is a welcome way to kick off 2014.
