Denver's Regional Transportation District operates a fleet of 36 hybrid electric buses on the 16th Street Mall, each powered by a dual electric and compressed natural gas (CNG) engine. The buses have greater fuel efficiency and produce lower emissions than a typical diesel bus. It is one of the world's largest fleets of advanced heavy-duty alternative vehicles.

Recycle Your Tree and Make a Difference
After the clock strikes 2012 and your ornaments are boxed away, help your tree sprout wings! The City of Denver provides residents FREE Christmas tree recycling between January 3-13. Just put your tree out for collection curbside. In the spring, you can enjoy mulch for your garden made from Christmas trees across the city. The mulch will be available at the May 5th FREE Mulch Giveaway and Compost Sale. For more information, click here.
