"I am pleased to inform you that the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has awarded Portsmouth $42,375 through the Virginia Alternative Fuels Revolving Fund Program. The funds are to be used to assist in the purchase of vehicles dedicated to using natural gas, and retrofitting current vehicles for bi-fuel use. While actual cost savings are unknown at this time, the City of Portsmouth, in cooperation with the Portsmouth Public School System, and the Portsmouth Redevelopment and Housing Authority will collect data to determine costs, operation efficiency, and e~virornnental effects of the program.
