Benefits of

CNG:

• Fixed fuel prices / Lower fuel costs• Maintenance is easier and decreased operating costs• Service/maintenance staff wants to work with•There is no need for underground fuel tanks with CNG•Reduce noise level of vehicles•Public likes this, especially for refuse collection vehicles•Preferred showcase room at specials events because of green vehicle•No operational issues running vehicle in extreme cold weather



Barriersof

CNG:

•Limited # of available public stations•Time it takes to access the few public stations currently available•Compressing stations need to correct pressure in order to fully fuel•High tank upfits and maintenance•High cost for upkeep of fueling station•Timely approval process for building stations•Unpredictable future codes on permitting process in NYC•Lack of tax credit for vehicles•Need CNG vehicles that are currently unavailable, i.e. M2 26,000 -CNG



Solutionsof

CNG:

•Gather bold commitments for fuel use from operators•Increase education to public and elected officials•Split cost of fueling station between users and developers, where users agree to a small percentage increase for each GGE of CNG to offset infrastructure development costs. •Integrate upfitting costs into fuel price•Replicate NYS model for private operated refueling on publicly owned property/stations

Conclusion:

#1 barrier: lack of & reliability of existing CNG re-fueling
