Alternative Fuels
SMF and its tenants own and operate a very large and diverse fleet of alternatively fueled low emission vehicles. The SCAS has encouraged the use of these new low emission technologies by providing the specialized refueling infrastructure needed for their daily operation. Specific applications include:
SuperShuttle operates a fleet of CNG powered shuttle vans, and the Sacramento Independent Taxi Owners Association (SITOA) operates low emission gasoline vehicles.
- Electric-powered aircraft support systems are on all passenger loading bridges, eliminating the need for aircraft ground support equipment powered by internal combustion engines.
- The Sacramento County Airport System uses gasoline-electric hybrid pool cars and has increased the number of electric vehicles used on-airport.
