Actions towards "Going Green":
|
- One hundred percent 100% of our diesel fuel vehicles run on biodiesel (B20) fuel. By expanding the use of B20, we are taking steps to a "greener" City.
- As a part of the City's "Green City Initiative" we have continued to purchase more hybrids and plug-in vehicles.
- We currently have 31 hybrids and plug-in vehicles within our fleet, ranging from sedans to SUVs. These units are being used in a variety of different City departments. A few examples are the Hybrid Ford Fusion and Hybrid Ford Escapes. They have replaced older sedans and pickups with lower gas mileage
