    2:30 - 4:30   Session 1: Flying High: Airports Take Off with Alternative Fuels
    Airports are increasingly looking at ways to reduce emissions and at the same time identifying strategies that will maintain or lower costs.  Opportunities for savings are great because of options for central refueling, great volumes of fuel use and financial incentives.  Ground service vehicles, taxis, shuttles, buses and cargo all provide opportunities for the use of cleaner burning and less expensive alternative fuels.

    2:30 - 4:30   Session 2: Special Delivery: Private Fleets Saving Money through Alternative Fuels
    The private and public delivery sectors are exploring business models that incorporate cost saving new technologies and cleaner, less expensive alternative fuels.  The United States Postal Service for years has served as an impressive model through their diversification of fuels and technologies.  GE  has built a company wide business model called “EcoMagination” that focuses on making money by being green.  This session looks at trends in delivery and existing options that make a viable business case.

    2:30 - 4:30   Session 3: Trash Talk: Alternative Fuels for Refuse
    The refuse market is a prime one to realize significant savings by using alternative fuels and new technologies.  With more than 150,000 refuse trucks operating today, most of them are more than ten years old and running on diesel.  Neighborhood groups are beginning to demand cleaner burning options.  With the advent of 2007 and upcoming 2010 EPA standards as well as fluctuating oil prices many fleets are exploring exciting new alternatives.

    2:30 - 4:30   Session 4: Breathing Room: Greening Up School Buses
    Who doesn’t want to make sure their kids are breathing in the cleanest air possible?  School bus emissions have generated a lot of attention over the years.  In this workshop, you’ll hear from the author of “Failing the Grade,” one of many studies that shows the impact of school bus pollution on kids’ health.  So what are the solutions to cleaning up tailpipe emissions from the big yellow bus?  You’ll learn the basics when it comes to alternative fuel options.  We’ll also interview those on the ground making a difference within school bus fleets with an informative Q & A designed to involve the audience.

    2:30 - 4:30   Session 5: Carrying Their Weight: Vehicle and Technology Choices for Mass Transit
    The transit industry consists of mostly local-government agencies that operate public bus, commuter rail, heavy rail, or ferryboat systems. Transit is a growing market for alternative fuels because of unprecedented federal incentives and growing concern about emissions.  Transit buses are heavy fuel users and heavy polluters.  Because they are nearly always centrally-fueled and operate on fixed routes, this is an excellent niche market for the use of alternative fuels.  Come and learn about the vehicles and fuels available today for your transit operations.
