Calif. Transits losing major funds due to ag diesel tax break
Diesel Fuel News, Feb 4, 2002
According to California Transit Association, financing for new transit bus purchases is in jeopardy due to California Board of Equalization's new decision to extend diesel fuel tax exemptions to cover transportation of ag products from farms to factories. Meantime, local public transit districts face higher costs and shrinking revenues, as they're being forced to choose between very costly CNG buses or else buy new buses with diesel particulate filters (DPFs) and run these on ULSD.
California diesel transits also must begin demonstrating technologies achieving lower emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) or else face losing the lower-cost "diesel path" option altogether (see Diesel Fuel News 10/29/2001, p10).
