We are converting the buses to minimum 2010 EPA compliance and procured double decker buses for transport efficiency.  This has cut our emissions by 48% and upon completion will reduce emissions by 80%.  We are not stopping there. 

In 2024 we switched to renewable fuel made from plant waste for a further CO2 reduction of 85%. This is done without increasing the environmental footprint on fuel delivery.

At PNWTS we continue to innovate to meet local, provincial and federal greenhouse gas reduction targets.
