They are the first of the agency's 60 long, fixed-route buses that are running on compressed natural gas instead of diesel, which officials say should have a significant impact on both the environment and its budget.
Public transit buses are major contributors of diesel fumes and emissions, Indian Nations Council of Governments Energy Programs Coordinator Meredith Webber said.
The agency pays about $2.50 per gallon for untaxed diesel, while CNG is less than half that, Tulsa Transit General Manager Bill Cartwright said.

TOM STROMME/Tribune A below-grade shipment of gasoline was being pumped out of underground storage tanks at the UNISTOP Station at 19th Street and Century Avenue in north Bismarck on Oct. 14. A Tesoro official said Friday that the bad gas being reported in the Bismarck-Mandan area was not contaminated with diesel fuel, but was being pulled from retailers' tanks.
Jill Saletta, vice president of corporate communications for Tesoro, said in an email that the bad fuel deliveries were localized to the Bismarck and Mandan areas.
Mark Leischner, owner of UNISTOP stores on Century Avenue and South 12th and University Drive, said that by Friday morning, his south location had received new product and his north store was still in the process of being pumped out.
A familiar face is once again tangling with the Westwego City Council over a familiar issue, but this time Blackwater New Orleans LLC's attempt to expand its chemical-storage facility near River Road might be hampered more by the company's recent public comments than by the products it wants to store. Blackwater is seeking to expand its facility by 12 tanks and 450,000 barrels of storage space over the next three years and went to the council Monday to try to arrange a way to get that expansion approved.
The new proposal is very similar in size to the expansion the company presented to city officials a year ago , but the main difference is that, previously, Blackwater wanted to store combustible diesel fuel. Now, Chief Commercial Officer Frank Marrocco says the company would house only non-hazardous, non-combustible and non-flammable products at the facility.

"Just basically more of what we're doing today, and what we've done in the past," said Marrocco, who noted that the company recently stopped storing sulfuric acid, which had been a source of frustration for residents and city officials.
Marrocco asked the council to approve the general outline of the company's expansion plans, which would add more than 16 million gallons of material to the site, and then allow Blackwater to present the individual tanks to the city's building inspector on a piecemeal basis.

Oct. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Cool piped jazz floats over the luxury icebreaker Ulysses as Brian Carver wheels the five-story megayacht away from the sound of Cristal Champagne corks firing along the Monaco coast.
Other isolationist perks aboard the ship named after the Ancient Greek mariner who got lost in a sea of troubles include a retractable helicopter pad and a 180,000 gallon diesel tank that costs around $700,000 to fill. That’s ample fuel for more than 6,000 nautical miles, and enough power to ensure the yacht’s four quantum-zero stabilizers allow guests to continue playing pool in a storm and not tilt the Batman pinball machine.
Those interested in this example of the future of luxury superyachting should contact billionaire owner Graeme Hart, managing director of the private-equity firm Rank Group Ltd. in Auckland, New Zealand.
It has been three years since the collapse of Lehman Brothers triggered the worst fiscal crisis following the Great Depression and a gust of fear among the armada of giga-yachtsmen who each September sail into the Monaco Yacht Show to preen and prance their monstrous vessels for sale. Time and Europe’s multibillion-dollar credit calamity have not been kind to them.
