AFDC - Alternative Fuel News Vol.
Airport shuttles are vital to airport operations.
Airport shuttles are capable of central refueling, and as high-mileage, high fuel use vehicles, they are well suited to AFV use. To help Clean Cities develop this important niche market, the Clean Vehicle Education Foundation has created an Airport Shuttle Information Tool Kit. The kit, funded by the Department of Energy, will be distributed to each designated Clean Cities coordinator, and features an overview of airport shuttle characteristics, marketing strategies, examples and case studies, vehicle information, and contacts for additional information. According to the fact sheet, motor vehicles are the single largest source of pollution at airports-exceeding even aircraft. Because airports are required to comply with local air quality plans and airport fleets are uniquely suited to AFV use, airports offer attractive opportunities for the expanded use of AFVs.
