When your business is driving, you can really benefit from a program that can help you reduce your fuel costs.

The cost-cutting tips offered through our Drivewiser program can help you save fuel, save money and reduce your vehicle's carbon emissions.

Drive a taxi in HRM?

No one wants to pay more than they have to at the pump. Now some taxi drivers will get a chance to save money and help the environment by using less fuel.

The Fuel-Efficient Taxi Initiative, which was announced on March 30, is a one-year pilot project that will help 'green' HRM's taxi fleet.

Under the program Conserve Nova Scotia will provide a $2,500 incentive to six drivers to purchase a new fuel efficient or hybrid vehicle. Nine drivers will also be eligible for a $1,200 grant to collect data on fuel use, distance traveled, maintenance and repair costs.

The program will be administered by the Halifax Dartmouth Automobile Dealers Association.
