摘要: |
The Cairo Air Improvement Project (CAIP) is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The project's goal is to initiate and implement measures to reduce air pollutants such as particulate matter (PM) that have the most serious impacts on human health in Greater Cairo. There are more than 4,000 public transit buses in service in Greater Cairo. Almost all of them are powered by diesel engines and are major contributors to PM emissions. A plan is in effect to convert diesel-powered vehicles to compressed natural gas (CNG) with special attention being given to transit buses. This report describes the implementation of the Inspection/Maintenance for Transit Buses (IMTB) program at the bus companies in Cairo and presents the findings with recommendations for future activities. |
