MPGA Executive Director Addresses Governor Whitmer’s “Propane Emergency” and Line 5 
In response to the regional hours of service waiver declared by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA), Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer declared a state of emergency to make sure propane supply would be adequately distributed. Governor Whitmer has been one of the most vocal opponents to Enbridge’s Line 5 pipeline, which supplies a significant amount of propane to the state. Derek Dalling, executive director with the Michigan Propane Gas Association, joined BNN Bloomberg with his insight and perspective on this.

The program status is still under development but members that are looking to replace any service crane trucks, cylinder delivery trucks, or bobtails may want to consider the grant opportunities.
