from the executive director’s desk

fter more than two years, Alabama years1993-2009) with clean burning propane
is finally accepting applications school buses
for VW Settlement funding Mark Denton and I attended a workshop
A Alabama was awarded $25 million that ADECA conducted on how to apply
in the settlement agreement Governor Ivey for VW funding ADECA has set a very short
appointed ADECA as the lead agency APGA window of time for submitting applications
has worked delinquently during this time to deadline is 12 noon on July 31, 2019 We
ensure that ADECA was educated on the immediately made contact with school
benefits of propane The number one goal of districts to ensure they were aware of the
the settlement is for each state to reduce NOx deadline to submit applications We emailed
by funding projects that will do just that all superintendents
Propane school buses are the best option and transportation
for Alabama when it comes to reducing directors the application
NOx Propane is clean burning where as along with many useful
the majority of school buses on Alabama resources so that they
roads today are dirty diesel Propane has the would have everything
opportunity to get as much as $5 4 million in they needed at their
funding to replace older diesel buses (model fingertips We assured
them
that uLisa Hillu
we will
help in any way possible
As propane marketers,
you can help by talking to
your local school district
board members Ask them
Your SINGLE SOURCE for
if they know about the
opportunity to replace an
old diesel school bus with
a clean burning propane
school bus for as little as
20% of the retail cost of the
propane school bus That is
approximately a $76,000 in
savings PER BUS for a school
and many, many more! district I cannot imagine that
Stop in and see us! there is a district out there
that couldn’t use a savings
