Trillium to build 29 CNG fueling stations in Pennsylvania

Earlier this year, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) selected Trillium for a contract under which the company will design, build and maintain the CNG facilities.

“This is an unprecedented project that will supply CNG to more than 1,600 buses at transit agencies across Pennsylvania,” said Bill Cashmareck, general manager of natural gas for Love’s.

Seven of the 29 facilities will be open to the public with the option to add additional sites in the future. The agreement also includes CNG-related updates to existing transit maintenance and storage facilities.

“PennDOT has led the way in proving how valuable public-private partnerships can be. We hope other states use this model so Trillium can help lower the cost of other transit facilities nationwide,” added Cashmareck.

Construction on the first three facilities will begin later this year and are expected to open early next year.

Love’s Travel Stops & Country Stores, operator of gas stations across the U.S., acquired Trillium CNG last February.
