The Department of Environmental Protection, along with its partners at Greater Philadelphia Clean Cities, will hold a free workshop on August 13 in Luzerne County for private and municipal fleet owners and operators, trucking companies, school districts, and alternative fuel station developers.

The workshop will be held in the Henry Student Center of Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre from 9 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Attendees will learn the benefits of operating fleet vehicles using alternative fuels, such as compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), and propane (LPG).  Speakers will provide information on the growing natural gas fueling infrastructure in Pennsylvania, and how to apply for Alternative Fuel Incentive and Act 13 Natural Gas Vehicle grants. 

Several alternative fuel vehicles and school buses will be available for viewing at each workshop.

Registration for these workshops is required by August 6.  Click Here to register.
