The Atlantic City Jitney Association (ACJA), providers of shuttle service to local residents and millions of visitors since 1915, contracted with Clean Energy Fuels Corp. to build and operate a new fast-fill compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling station in Egg Harbor Township, Atlantic County, New Jersey.
The CNG fueling facility will support ACJA's deployment of its new fleet of 190 clean-running, 13-passenger shuttle buses.
Also available 24/7 for public access, the station is projected to open in the second half of 2011. The U.S. Department of Energy, under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 federal stimulus program, awarded ACJA a $5.5 million grant to cover the incremental cost of acquiring the new CNG vehicles.
