Alternatively Fueled Vehicles-Public (Bus) Fleet
"The buses in Boulder are owned and operated by RTD and Special Transit (HOP). Currently, RTD uses the buses fueled by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) for the Stampede route and Special Transit is using one biodiesel bus as a pilot for the HOP route. The city will coordinate with RTD and Special Transit to develop a reasonable target (goal) for increasing the number of clean burning vehicles in the public fleet."
