Grant Moves Laketran's Propane Agenda
Thanks to a grant of nearly $1 million from Ohio DOT’s Transit Preservation Partnership Program (OTP3), Laketran in Lake County, OH, will be able to purchase eight propane-fueled paratransit vehicles.
OTP3 is a discretionary program that selects recipients on a competitive basis with an emphasis on preservation, or keeping public transit service in good condition.
Laketran General Manager Ben Capelle said, “The more buses we have operating on propane, the more we reduce our fuel costs. Federal funding for vehicle replacement is becoming more difficult to come by and we appreciate ODOT’s initiative to allocate funding to keep our rolling stock in good condition.”
The acquisition will double the size of Laketran’s alternative fueled fleet.
Board President Brian Falkowski said, “This is the kind of transit investment we’re hoping to see more of from the state. Laketran and Lake County residents will benefit from this investment as our Dial-a-Ride fleet becomes more efficient and environmentally friendly.”
