Title: INITIATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ALTERNATIVE FUELS REPORT
Accession Number: 00742015
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has initiated an aggressive plan to convert its on-road motor vehicle fleet of 9,000 vehicles to alternative fuels. State legislation passed in 1989 requires that TxDOT have 90% of its fleet converted by 1998. This undertaking has radically changed the way the Department both purchases and manages its fleet and thus has required major changes in the planning, procurement and use of its vehicles. The initial implementation of an alternative fuels program should consider and account incentives in energy abundance, environmental protection and economic concerns; initiatives in (Federal) Clean Air Act Amendment, Energy Policy Act and individual state legislation; and barriers in equipment cost, fuel availability, market inertia and underdeveloped infrastructure.
