Trillium to roll out 29 CNG stations in Pennsylvania

The first of the 29 Trillium compressed natural gas (CNG) stations is now open at 502 Maple Avenue, Johnstown, Pennsylvania.

The project is part of a private-public partnership contract (P-3) awarded to Trillium CNG by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.

The station is open 24 hours and equipped with two CNG dispensers. It will mainly serve Cambria County Transit Authority (CamTran) fleet of CNG buses, but it's also open to the public.

"This project has already had a very positive impact on the local economy using local contractors to help construct the CNG fueling stations. CamTran is proud to be a partner with the BPT as the ‘FIRST Go Live’ CNG public-private fueling station in Pennsylvania,” said Rose M. Lucey-Noll, executive director for CamTran.

Larson Design Group of Williamsport, Pennsylvania, is assisting with the construction of the locations.

“We’re all playing an important role in promoting CNG as an alternative fuel, and together, we’re changing the face of transportation in Pennsylvania and in the United States by providing fleets and motorists with more places to fill with CNG,” said Bill Zobel, vice president of business development and marketing for Trillium CNG.
