The SunLine Transit Agency in Thousand Palms, CA, recently received one of 14 Clean Air Excellence Awards for 2009 presented by the Environmental Protection Agency. The agency received the honor in the “Clean Air Technology” category.

EPA recognized SunLine for its leadership in alternative fuel technologies, specifically zero-emission hydrogen fueled buses and infrastructure. The transit agency was a pioneer in owning and operating its own hydrogen generation and dispensing station—part of California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s California Hydrogen Highway initiative—equipped with both a dedicated hydrogen bus hose and a commercial third-party card reader system, so the public and outside fleets can purchase hydrogen 24 hours a day. SunLine also recently received its sixth-generation hydrogen fuel bus, one of three hydrogen-fueled vehicles currently providing service in the Coachella Valley.

According to SunLine General Manager C. Mikel Oglesby: “The agency’s mission to provide safe and environmentally conscious public transportation services and alternative fuel solutions to meet the mobility needs of the Coachella Valley continues to be realized with the presentation of this prestigious award. This award is a testament to the dedication of the board of directors and hard work of SunLine staff.”
