| Abstract | The Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) is currently investigating propulsion alternatives which would conserve petroleum-based fuels and would be practical for use by U.S. transit operators. A discussion of these alternatives (electric propulsion systems, alternative fuels and modifications of bus components which improve the efficiency of diesel engines) as well as a current overview of UMTA's bus propulsion projects is provided. |
