Lower Merion Transportation Director to Sit on Federal Energy Panel
He earned the honor because of the school district's natural gas-fueled bus fleet.
Lower Merion School District transportation director Jerry Rineer will sit on an expert panel at an upcoming Department of Energy conference celebrating the proliferation of renewable fuels, Philly.com is reporting.
According to the paper, in 1995 the district began replacing its diesel buses with natural gas-fueled vehicles, and now has the largest alternative energy fleet of any school district on the East Coast.
The DOE told the paper that Rineer was a "pioneer" and added that Lower Merion's green efforts have been "critical to our success."
