State and Local Policy Database

Efficient Vehicles & Behavior

Communities can improve the efficiency of their vehicles by encouraging the choice of efficient vehicles and helping to develop the infrastructure to fuel them. Conventional vehicles with high fuel efficiency, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and electric vehicles provide significant energy saving opportunities. Beyond vehicle purchase choices, local governments can implement policies like anti-idling ordinances to encourage efficient driver behavior and help to reduce fuel waste. Regional transportation partnerships and coalitions can also be an important organizing tool for communities to reduce their overall transportation related energy use.

This sub-category includes information on four topics: Provision by the local government of purchase incentives for conventional vehicles with high fuel efficiency, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, or electric vehicles; Incentive programs to support the implementation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure; Policies that encourage efficient driving behavior, such as anti-idling ordinances, and apply to all private vehicles or a subset of private vehicles; Active engagement by staff from the local jurisdiction in a regional clean transportation partnership, such as a Clean Cities Coalition.
