”When the entire fleet of buses is powered by biodiesel, it will be equivalent to taking over 1,000 cars off the road annually, ” added Councillor Feltmate. “This means our air will be cleaner and we will all breathe a little easier.”
The City’s Fleet Services Branch has been studying the use of biodiesel for two years as part of the City’s Council-approved Fleet Emissions Reduction Strategy and will continue to work towards using even higher blend ratios. With this ongoing commitment the City will further reduce GHGs emissions from the transit fleet by at least 9%, or over 9,000 tonnes a year, which will help achieve the target of a 20% GHGs reduction set in the City’s 20/20 Official Plan.
City’s use of biodiesel eliminates 4,000 tonnes of emissions annually
