Program is part of Green City Initiative
Fort Wayne, Ind. -- More than 300 City vehicles that previously ran on diesel fuel now run on biodiesel fuel.
The conversion to biodiesel fuel is part of Fort Wayne Mayor Graham Richard's Green City Initiative. In February, Mayor Richard announced a series of programs aimed at improving government services and making the City more environmentally friendly.
Biodiesel reduces nearly all forms of air pollution, petroleum consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and oil dependence.
Biodiesel is registered with the Environmental Protection Agency as a legal fuel and has completed rigorous health effects testing. The City also receives federal tax credits by using biodiesel and can apply for state grants.
