The Urban Mass Transportation Administration's Alternative Fuel Initiative and the Environmental Protection Agency's 1991 regulations on transit bus exhaust emissions has resulted in a number of alternative fueled transit bus research and demonstration activities. Since the chemical and physical properties for liquefied natural gas (LNG) are significantly different than for diesel fuel, a training program was needed. The purpose of this program was to inform transit agencies of the characteristics of LNG and to instruct them in the proper use and handling of the new fuel in various transit operations. This training manual describes LNG use in transit, including LNG properties, flammability, advantages, health effects, along with safety equipment and procedures, as well as operating transit vehicles with LNG.
