Little Rock Moves Toward CNG
The Central Arkansas Transit Authority (CATA) in North Little Rock recently entered into two contracts as it moves toward operating CNG buses: $6.9 million to Gillig LLC for purchase of 15 new CNG buses and $2.1 million with Trillium CNG for design, construction, operation, and maintenance of a CNG fueling station.
Federal and local funds support the purchase of the buses. Funds for the fueling facility come from numerous sources including the CATA municipal and county funding partners and grants from Southwestern Energy, the Arkansas Energy Office, and FTA.
“This is a great opportunity for CATA to continue to meet the needs of our customers with the fleet they deserve. The transition to CNG reflects our commitment to remain environmentally conscious as we enhance our fleet,” said Jarod Varner, CATA executive director.
