Go Riteway is a transportation company that provides various vehicle services including school buses, airport shuttles, motor coaches, and sedans. The company has implemented several green initiatives such as a fuel conservation policy, hybrid buses, and propane vehicles. Go Riteway analyzed using propane in its airport shuttle vehicles and found it was 33% cheaper than gasoline while only reducing fuel economy by 15-20%. The company plans to expand propane use to school buses after initial analysis found maintenance differences from diesel but a 30% estimated reduction in fuel economy. Go Riteway will provide driver training on propane safety procedures before implementing propane school buses.
