Topic

The topics of this blog are the operation and use of propane-powered vehicles and propane fueling stations obtained wholly or in part via the Commission’s grant of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) funds from the United States Department of Energy, and the benefits of propane and propane-powered vehicles.

Purpose of this Blog

The purpose of this blog is to facilitate an ongoing dialogue between and among the public, Clean Cities stakeholders, fleet operators, other alternative fuel stakeholders and the Railroad Commission of Texas on the topics stated above. We encourage your comments, ideas, solutions, and concerns, and hope that you will find the information here helpful in understanding what your government is doing and what you can do to help. This is a moderated blog, so all comments will be reviewed before posting. We recognize that the Internet is a 24/7 medium, and your comments are welcome at any time. However, given the need to manage state resources, moderating and posting of comments will occur during regular business hours in the Central U.S. Time Zone. Comments will be read and posted as soon as possible.
