	In 2017 the city council voted 7-0 to approve a $2.2 million grant application to the Federal Transit Administration. This would help pay for a proposed $7.5 million project to convert methane captured at the Dubuque landfill into CNG to fuel twelve [[JULE (THE)]] transit buses. According to city staff, methane had been captured and burned off since 2011. Adding a CNG-fuel station would help the city reduce greenhouse emissions and remove an estimated 61,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide from the air annually.
