State Alternative Fuels and Advanced Vehicles Advancement Plan

A committee led by the Commissioner of Energy Resources and made up of other state and regional agency representatives is required to develop a statewide plan for the advancement of hybrid electric and alternative fuel vehicles. The plan should cover a 10 year period, beginning in 2010, and take into account geographic diversity, demographics, transportation needs, infrastructure, and the current and emerging alternative fuel and advanced vehicle technologies. Goals set forth in this plan may include the purchase of alternative fuel or advanced vehicles and the production or distribution of alternative fuels. The plan should include strategies and methods for achieving these goals. (Reference Massachusetts Session Law 169, 2008)
