Alternative Fuel Promotion

Changing what powers a vehicle

  • Encouraging the use of fuels that are cleaner than traditional gasoline or diesel, especially in fleets.
  • Supporting infrastructure so people can use those fuels, like installing EV chargers or CNG fueling stations.

Fuel Economy Improvements

Using less fuel

  • Improving how efficiently fuel is used in a vehicle 
  • Encouraging regular maintenance for better MPG
  • Helping fleets choose more fuel-efficient models
  • Optimizing routes and telematics 
  • Idle Reduction

Electric Vehicle (EV) Adoption

  • EV infrastructure planning
  • Outreach and education on charging and fleet transition

Fleet Transition Support

  • Helping municipalities and private fleets shift to low- or zero-emission vehicles, such as partnerships with EPRI and their instructional research that facilitates the transition to hybrid or electric vehicles.
  • Providing outreach to introduce people to grants, tools, and credits that allows their business and fleet to transition smoothly and cost-effectively to clean transportation.

First Responder & Technician Training

  • Training firefighters, EMTs, and public safety personnel on how to safely respond to incidents involving EVs, hydrogen vehicles, CNG/LPG tanks, etc.
  • Workshops and certifications for maintenance technicians working with new fuel systems

Workforce Development & Public Education

  • Hosting webinars, workshops, and technical trainings for stakeholders, fleets, government entities, and the public—raising awareness around alternative fuels, advanced vehicles, idle-reduction, and energy-efficient transportation.
  • Cross‑stakeholder communication
  • Coordinated bid submissions for funding
  • Joint media outreach & public recognition

Data Collection & Technical Assistance

  • Reporting regional alternative fuel use
