Renewable Natural Gas

  • In partnership with Union Gas, the

City completed a new (CNG) station at the Mountain Transit Centre

  • In September 2015, 18 new CNG -

buses were added, bringing the fleet of CNG buses to 48.

  • An additional 80-100 CNG buses

are expected to be added over the next 3 years.

  • Contribution of RNG to Transit will

enhance GHG profile as applied.
