How we travel, where we travel, what we drive, access to mass transportation, access to bike trails - all these factors influence our fuel consumption and local environment. Here visitors can find information on local green transportation projects and links to alternative forms of transportation.

TARTA - Biodiesel Study

TARTA (Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority) and the City of Toledo Division of Streets, Bridges, and Harbors have partnered with the University of Toledo's Intermodal Transportation Institute to study the impact of using biofuels in 48 TARTA buses and a number of City diesel-powered vehicles. The study will evaluate emissions, engine performance and wear, and operating costs. Air quality for passengers is also being studied.
