The immediate impact to the Murrieta Valley Unified School District is the fuel cost savings that will be accrued over time. These savings can be applied to the compressed natural gas fleet replacement program thereby ensuring continuation of the district’s home to school transportation program in the years ahead. Another important aspect of Murrieta Valley Unified School District’s newly constructed compressed natural gas fueling station is that it enhances the compressed natural gas vehicle deployment in California by becoming an integral part in the development of a contiguous network of school district infrastructures forming a viable compressed natural gas refueling network that enables school districts to extend the field trip range of their buses. To this end, Murrieta Valley Unified School District has included two fast fill fueling positions that will be made available to school buses of districts from other regions destined for or transiting through Murrieta, California. Agreements have been formalized with two neighboring school districts that allow for mutual assistance in the event of fueling emergencies resulting from compressed natural gas equipment casualties. Finally, this fueling infrastructure will enable the district to continue its home to school transportation.
