There is actually a lot of work being done to increase the use of natural gas in our vehicles. Gov. Tom Corbett, along with Democrat and Republican governors from across the country, are advancing practical policies aimed at expanding natural gas vehicles and refueling availability.
In April, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives began considering several bills, collectively known as the “Marcellus Works” package, focused on fostering CNG opportunities for consumers across the Commonwealth and a cleaner, more affordable transportation system for every Pennsylvanian. “The economic, environmental, and energy security benefits [of CNG] would be enormous” for our nation, according to recent Progressive Policy Institute study, further underscoring the importance of these common sense initiatives.
Additionally, Governor Corbett recently announced that 18 organizations in 15 counties would receive $6.7 million in state grants – funded by impact fee revenues generated by the natural gas industry – to convert and purchase natural gas vehicles.
