The province has purchased a $330,000 vehicle to apply environmentally friendly water-based traffic marking paint to provincial highways --rather than the polluting oil-based type. The provincial government says it is taking steps to meet upcoming federal regulations on volatile organic compounds--which are present in oil based paint.
Transportation Minister Denis Landry says about 40 per cent of the traffic marking paint applied in the province last year was water-based but with the new vehicle, this year they expect to exceed 90 per cent.
