<br />TLU <br />RANSPORTATION AND AND SE <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />Alternative Fuel Vehicle Acquisition Policy <br />? <br /> <br />Over the next five years 75 percent of the fleet will be replaced by alternative fuel vehicles <br />(AFVs), total cost savings will be nearly $1 million. To date, the City has over 45 AFVs. <br />? <br /> <br />In 2011, AQMD awarded the City $523,000 to <br />purchase new AFVs. <br />? <br /> <br />There are two compressed natural gas fueling <br />stations available to the public. <br /> <br />City Fleet <br />? <br /> <br />All of the fleet’s used oil and antifreeze is <br />refined, recycled, and reused. <br />? <br /> <br />The Recap Tire Program makes use of a <br />remanufacturing process designed to extend all <br />fleet vehicle tires’ useful service life. The recycled <br />rubber is shredded to make rubber mulch. <br />? <br /> <br />A motor vehicle loan pool allows departments to share vehicles for business purposes instead of <br />the permanent assignment of vehicles. <br />? <br /> <br />A zero waste policy has been implemented by the Facilities, <br />Fleet and Central Stores Management. <br />? <br /> <br />The City’s fleet of over 900 vehicles was rated among the top <br />100 fleets in the nation by Government Fleet Magazine. Fleets <br />were selected based on improved operational efficiency, <br />significant savings, and increased fleet availability. <br />Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC) <br />? <br /> <br />The SARTC is the focal point of transportation in Orange County and combines Amtrak, <br />Metrolink, Orange County Transit Authority, intercity and interstate bus transportation, and <br />airport and taxi services all at one location. <br />? <br /> <br />Santa Ana received $3 million in grant funds for environmental work to expand the SARTC to <br />include additional parking, the proposed streetcar system, and to determine the feasibility of <br />infrastructure to support high-speed rail service. This commitment to long-range, sustainable <br />planning was one factor in the selection of Santa Ana as a major transportation grant recipient. <br />? <br /> <br />The Santa Ana Fixed Guideway/Street Car Project, in cooperation with the Orange County <br />Transportation Authority (OCTA), is developing a transportation system that would provide a <br />convenient connection between Metrolink commuter rail service at the SARTC and key activity <br />and employment centers in the cities. The Street Car Project would be electrically powered <br />through a single overhead wire and would transport up to 100 people per trip. <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
