The new CNG buses, which help round out the airport’s total fleet of parking shuttles to 24, are coloured green, orange and blue and feature exterior San Diego-themed graphics to help customers identify with which shuttle to take. They have low floors and kneeling capabilities as well as wheelchair lifts to make getting on and off easier for passengers.
“The airport is committed to finding ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to these new shuttles, we’ll continue to work with those who do business at the airport, including airlines and airport cab operators, to convert their vehicles to use more sustainable sources of fuel,” said Jim Myhers, manager of Ground Transportation for the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority.
Local media had the opportunity to tour the new shuttle buses and see the technical updates and new amenities, including the engines powered by clean-burning compressed natural gas.
