Sundance has strived to be green long before it was in the public spotlight or on our government's agenda. Our eco-friendly maintenance practices are only now becoming the standard in the charter bus industry. For many years now, our daily maintenance practices have included:

In addition, we've upgraded all of our coaches from the old air-conditioning refrigerants (R12) to the newer, more environmentally sound, R134. Our drivers are instructed to shut down buses when not loading or unloading passengers. Less idle time means less smoke and particulate matter from exhaust, not to mention less diesel being burned needlessly.

These are all things we've been doing for years but perhaps the greatest changes will be in the plans we have to upgrade our engines and even the buses themselves.  We have a very aggressive plan that is already underway and will continue thru 2010.  Our plans include engine upgrades and modifications (using particulate traps), and brand new buses. By the end of 2010 we will have reduced our particulate matter emissions by 94%.
