It was just a few days ago that Operations Director Jewell Armour had expressed an interest in LP-fueled buses.
The demonstration will be held Tuesday at the Transportation Center on Atlanta Highway. School officials will also hear from representatives from Clean Fuels USA, the agency sponsoring the event.
The school system is seeking alternative fuel sources to combat the trend of rising cost for diesel fuel, the primary source for most buses in the system.
Although gas and diesel prices have dropped significantly in recent months, the system still wants to seek our sources of domestic fuels, which are in plentiful supply, such as liquid propane and natural gas.
An added benefit of the alternative fuel sources is their environmental advantage over gas and diesel.
