  • New compressed natural gas bus wrapped in local student artwork

    Imagine getting out your markers and drawing a picture with the hopes it will be plastered on the side of city bus? That is exactly what students from Muskegon High School, Three Oaks Public Academy, and Wesley School did as part of a contest held earlier this year.
     
    MATS (Muskegon Area Transit System), County Commissioners, and some of the artists themselves will unveil the new compressed natural gas bus featuring the six winning student drawings on Thursday, September 27, 2012, at 4:15 p.m. at the Muskegon County Hall of Justice (990 Tearrace Street) following the Muskegon County Board of Commissioners meeting.
     
    Local marketing agency, Revel, selected the winning entries based on artistic merit, creativity and originality, communication of the contest theme, and reproducibility on a Muskegon Area Transit System bus. In addition to the six pieces of art featured on the bus, over 40 winning student submissions are displayed on the MATS website. View the student artwork gallery.

  • Three natural gas-powered buses join Muskegon County's fleet

    The push by Muskegon County's bus system to convert to natural gas-fueled vehicles has reached its full-sized buses for the first time.

    Three new heavy-duty compressed natural gas buses began serving routes in the Muskegon Area Transit System earlier this month, replacing older, diesel-powered buses. Seasonal trolleys and small buses in the MATS fleet have been using compressed natural gas for years.
