Increasing use of compressed natural gas in vehicles in the Lincoln area has surprised officials at the Lincoln Airport which has seen dramatic increases in use of its fueling station, one of just two in the city.
The airport's compressed natural gas station, opened in late 2011, has seen increasing traffic as more government agencies convert vehicles to run on compressed natural gas.
Airport Operations Director Bob McNally says he's seeing a consistent increase by other users including the city libraries' Bookmobile and other city and state vehicles that have been converted to run on natural gas.
He's also seen more traffic from Interstate 80 including buses, semi-trailers and even a fleet of garbage trucks being driven to California.
