EBSCOhost: "The article describes an automobile transmission from General Motors for use in its hybrid vehicles. For stop-and-go city driving it uses both electric and gasoline motors.

Utah State Parks » Grants

Utah State Parks » Grants: "As we look around our great state, we see many fine facilities that our neighbors depend on for their recreational enjoyment that were constructed in whole or in part through grant funds administered by Utah State Parks. Some confusion seems to linger, however, with regards to the use of this grant funding and the process through which funds may be made available. I'd like to clarify some of that confusion as it applies to the four major grant programs that are available to help communities and public land agencies add to the recreational estate we all need and enjoy. Those programs are: the Land and Water Conservation Fund, the National Recreational Trails Program, the Utah Off-Highway Vehicle Grant Program and the Utah Trails and Pathways Program."
