Fuel-Efficient and Low Emission Vehicle Acquisition Requirements

The Climate Neutral Working Group (Working Group) aims to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from state government operations. As part of this effort, all state government agencies, offices, and departments must purchase the most fuel-efficient vehicles available in each vehicle class according to specifications set by the Working Group. The Working Group must consider vehicles that meet high fuel economy standards and provide lower total overall emissions of GHGs, criteria pollutants, and hazardous air contaminants. The State Agency Energy Plan specifies additional responsibilities for the Working Group. This directive expires on July 1, 2020. (Reference Executive Order 14-03, 2003)
