“Biodiesel has been an integral way for the District to continue to efficiently operate while also reducing costs and emissions.” 

"The switch to biodiesel was seamless, as there was no vehicle or engine modifications needed and the benefits we see in emission-reduction are huge."

"Biodiesel runs so smoothly in our engines - our mechanics didn't even notice a difference."
