ATLANTA—The Atlanta Airport Marriott has acquired two additional compressed natural gas (CNG) shuttle vehicles for its guest operations as part of the property’s participation in the Clean Cities Atlanta Petroleum Reduction Program. Clean Cities Atlanta is a government-industry partnership that works to reduce America’s petroleum consumption in the transportation sector. The alternative fuel shuttle buses join the property’s existing fleet of two compressed natural gas (CNG) and two fossil fuel vehicles. “We remain committed to reducing our carbon footprint by utilizing renewable natural gas rather than fossil fuel, helping to maintain a clean, safe environment for everyone,” said general manager Mark Spanka.
“The Clean Cities Atlanta Petroleum Reduction Program was awarded a grant from the Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory in 2009 as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act,” Spanka said. “The project is designed to increase the availability of alternative fuels and to increase the use of alternative fuel vehicles and advanced technology vehicles in Metro Atlanta as a means of reducing U.S. dependence on imported petroleum, increasing fuel economy, reducing emissions and improving air quality.”
The Atlanta Airport Marriott is located in College Park and within close proximity to the Georgia International Convention Center. Complimentary “green” shuttle service to and from the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is provided.
