APGA SOAR Program

APGA member systems take great pride in their ability to deliver natural gas safely and efficiently to over 5 million customers in 37 states. APGA is pleased to announce the System Operational Achievement Recognition (SOAR) program where public natural gas systems that have achieved excellence in the operation of their natural gas utility can help share best practice information with their peers.

SOAR focuses on commitment to excellence in four areas:

  • System integrity
  • System improvement
  • Employee safety
  • Workforce development

Applications will be reviewed by a team of experts from the APGA Operations & Safety Committee and will be awarded a rating based on a total cumulative score of points achieved from the program criteria in each of the four areas.
