This project aims to develop a national liquid propane refueling network and provide green jobs training. It will install 184 public propane refueling stations across 17 cities and train veterans and at-risk individuals to be propane vehicle technicians. The project will also provide incentives for propane school buses and vehicles. It has a budget of $36.8 million from the Department of Energy and cost share partners. The goals are to increase use of propane vehicles, build refueling infrastructure, provide jobs training, and measure increased deployment and emissions reductions.
