1 KCATA Compressed Natural Gas Program

2 Kansas City Area Transportation Authority Bi-State Compact (KS/MO) 16 million passengers 65 routes 700+ employees 261 buses $74 million operating budget

3 KCATA Active Bus Fleet 251 Active Transit Buses 23 Full Size (42 ) Diesel BRT 122 Full Size (40 ) Diesel 5 Full Size Hybrid Diesel Electric BRT 79 Small Heavy Duty Diesel (30 ) Ft. Small (Gas and Diesel) 2 Small Heavy Duty CNG (July 10, 2013)

4 KCATA Fuel Usage and Cost 2.4 Million Gallons Annually 2013 Budget $7.2 Million Diesel $300,000 Gasoline

5 CNG Benefit Cost Assessment CNG Significant Savings over Diesel $1 to $1.50+ per gallon savings Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reliable Domestic Natural Gas Supplies CNG Pricing Less Volatile Than Diesel 30 Gillig CNG Bus

6 CNG Costs and Challenges Retro-fit Existing Buildings Bus Storage Service Lines (Fuel/Wash) Maintenance Offices Above Maint. Bays New CNG Fuel Station Impact on Nightly Servicing

7 ATA Body Shop Maint. Building Service Line Bus Storage Building 162,500 s.f. C N G CNG Fuel Station

8 CNG Costs and Challenges Servicing 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. Two Lane Service Line Bus Fueling (~40 DGE) Fluids Checked/Added Interior/Exterior Washing 215 Buses Serviced Nightly Minimize Added Servicing Time

9 Financial Analysis Assumptions CNG / Diesel Price Difference (2012) Diesel Price = $3.00/ Gallon (Current $3.20) CNG Price = $1.51/ DGE (Diesel Gallon Equivalent) CNG Bus Cost Premium = $50,000 per bus New CNG Buses $410K (30 ) $440K (40 ) Fleet Replaced/Converted Over 16 Years

10 CNG Financial Analysis Conservative Assumptions Facility Improvements Meet Codes Detectors and Ventilation CNG Fuel Station Up to $10 Million CNG Bus Cost Premium $50,000 per bus CNG Lesser Fuel Economy (3.2 MPG vs. 4 MPG Per DGE)

11 Financial Analysis Results Financial Results: Payback Determination 5 to 6 year Financial Payback Based on 82 CNG Buses after 5 years > $2.2 Million Annual Savings Full CNG Fleet

12 KCATA Board CNG Policy July 2012 All New Buses To Be CNG Budget for CNG Buses in Future Budget for Facility Modifications Detection, fixtures, ventilation Net ATA Benefits Due to Fuel Savings

13 Kansas City, Mo. Support for Transit CNG City Council Resolution Supporting ATA s Natural Gas Conversion Plan the City of Kansas City supports the KCATA in its pursuit of compressed natural gas as a viable option for fueling the KCATA vehicle fleet.

14 KCATA CNG Program Objectives Reduce Fuel Expense Maximize Operating Cost Savings Promote Sustainability Support Domestic Energy Expedite CNG Conversion Max. Number of CNG Buses Modify Existing Maint. Bldgs. CNG Fueling Infrastructure

15 Implementation Challenges Capital Expenses Other than Buses Meeting Code Requirements Modify Existing Buildings Detectors, monitoring systems, upgrade Ventilation New CNG Fuel Station Canton Facility Budget $6.6 Million

16 Implementation Challenges Capital Budget CNG Facilities $6.6 Million CNG Bus Funding Maintaining Efficient Operations Locating CNG Fueling Station Construction Phasing Code Requirements City & Fire Marshall Canton

17 CNG Fuel Station Issues Maintain Servicing Efficiencies Avoid Disruption During Construction CNG Fuel Station Options Maintenance Visual/Noise Safety

18 ATA Body Shop Maint. Building Service Line Bus Storage Building C N G CNG Fuel Station

19 CNG Transit Fuel Station Design, Build and Maintain Performance Specification Time for 40 DGE Fill Two Dispensers Bus and Non-Revenue Vehicles Operational Reliability Life Cycle Costs Safety

20 CNG Program Implementation / Coordination Multi-Dept Team Utility (MGE & KCPL) Coordination 90 PSI Gas Line Technical Assistance Clean Cities & KMCO Educate ATA Staff Themes and Logos Regional Coordination

21 KCATA CNG Program Status 2 CNG Buses In Service 23 CNG Buses On Order 15 CNG Buses Annually Building Modifications Multiple Contracts CNG Fuel Station Contract By Sept Full CNG - Summer 2014 CNG Ribbon Cutting July 2013
