“This successful collaboration between two government entities
is an impressive accomplishment that will maximize the efficiency
of the station and improve the ROI for the project,” said Scott
Vazzana, senior business development manager, Clean Energy. “By
switching to natural gas, it is expected that the city and county
will realize a $6.9 million in fuel savings through 2026, while
providing improved air quality for the communities.”
The $4 million project, funded by both municipalities, along
with the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT), will jointly
power 50 refuse vehicles in Olathe and 120 transit buses in Johnson
County. The initiative is expected to reduce toxic emissions in the
region by an estimated 20 to 29 percent, lower consumption of
diesel fuel by 7,300 gallons annually, per truck, and provide an
estimated 80 percent decrease in noise level.
“We know having access to cleaner burning transportation fuel
like CNG is critical for air quality in our region, and in turn the
quality of life of our residents,” said City of Olathe Public Works
Director Mary Jaeger. “We are thrilled to be part of this green
initiative.”
The City of Olathe and Johnson County join other successful
Clean Energy projects and stations in the region, including the
City of Kansas City, MO, the Kansas City Transportation Authority,
Lee’s Summit School District, Blue Springs School District, and the
North Kansas City School District.
