The Clean Fuel Partnership (SLCFP) provides technical, financial, and information assistance to fleets who wish to employ cleaner fuels and energy saving and emission reducing technologies.  Approximately 80% of the SLCFP members are fleet operators.  We partner with fleets from a variety of sectors including: 

Prominent Fleets

Regional Transit Authority (RTA)

• RTA’s bus fleet serves the cities of New Orleans and Kenner.  Currently, 39 buses are running on biodiesel.
• In addition, RTA operates the New Orleans’ streetcar system, one of our most visible alternative fuel fleets.  Thirty-six of RTA’s electric streetcars are in operation at this time along the city’s three streetcar lines.  The remaining 30 cars that were damaged in the storm will begin returning to service by the end 2008. 

• Jefferson Parish Transit was the first mass transit fleet in the region to use biodiesel, which is employed in their entire fixed-route bus fleet.
• JeT is working to include biodiesel in their paratransit fleet.
• Biodiesel is stored at both JeT’s east bank and west bank facilities.

• Kern Studios used biodiesel to fuel the 116 tractors that pulled floats in 19 parades during the 2008 Carnival season.
• Kern Studios is also using biodiesel in their trucks and Mardi Gras World passenger shuttle buses.
