In support of National First Responders Day on October 28, The Transport Project (TTP) released a safety resource for inclusion in commercial vehicles fueled by compressed natural gas (CNG). The downloadable two-sided safety guide contains detailed “Vehicle Crash and/or Leak Response” instructions on one side with “Vehicle Thermal Response” instructions on the reverse.

The card is meant to be downloaded and/or installed in CNG vehicle cabs for quick reference use during traffic accidents or vehicle fires. Both sides include seven basic steps with graphics and concise language for vehicle drivers to follow to advance the safest possible incident outcome; once emergency services arrive, the card can be shared with first responders.

“TTP’s Technology and Development Committee produced this resource to reduce risk for drivers and improve emergency response outcomes in the immediate aftermath of vehicle collisions or thermal events involving CNG trucks and buses,” said Paul Sandsted, The Transport Project’s director of technology and sustainability. “This card is meant to provide clear, easy-to-read reminder guidance on the most critical steps to undertake during such events when stress levels are likely elevated.”

The resource was developed by TTP’s Technology and Development Committee in consultation with CNG vehicle experts and emergency response professionals.
