Natural Gas Transit (and school bus) Users Group
Natural Gas Transit Users Group
web page.
Welcome to the Natural Gas Transit (and school bus) Users Group (TUG) web page.
The TUG, which includes transit and school bus staff from small, medium and large fleets across the country, is managed by CVEF under U.S. DOE contract. It generally meets once each year to discuss bus operational issues, hear the latest on new and emerging natural gas and alternative fuel technologies and to receive updates on relevant government RD&D and grant programs. TUG meetings are held at host facilities which, allow TUG members the opportunity to conduct site visits and meet with all levels of the host's staff. TUG also sends out quarterly electronic newsletters, and hosts webcasts on subjects of interest to its members. , and facilitates the exchange of information among natural gas bus users.
Other than CVEF and US DOE staff, TUG membership and meeting attendance is limited to transit and school bus staff. While vendors are occasionally given agenda time to update TUG members concerning ongoing research, deployment and/or demonstration programs, these opportunities are by invitation only. This DOE policy is endorsed by the TUG membership as it fosters open communications among attendees members.
For more information about the TUG, please contact Hank Seiff @ hseiff@cleanvehicle.org or 703-534-6151.
