“SCR continually strives to provide transportation services that not only preserve but can also improve upon the health and safety of our customers,” said Stan Rakestraw, vice president and chief operating officer of SCR Medical Transportation. “Adopting new vehicle technologies and cleaner fuels like CNG allow us to better serve our community.”
The new fleet will operate in a six-county area of northeastern Illinois and its CNG conversion is funded with federal grants administered by the City of Chicago’s Departments of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection Green Taxi Program.
“Through a partnership with NatGasCar, we have been able to develop an EPA-certified CNG minivan that is a safe and affordable solution for paratransit operators,” said Garret Alpers, president of World CNG. “The innovative trunk-mounted CNG tank design allows for the straightforward addition of the side-load wheelchair ramp that many ADA service providers require.”
