The objective of the plan is to incorporate alternative sources <br />of energy for its fleet such as electricity and natural gas. The goal of the Strategic Plan is to <br />increase the proportion of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) in the City Fleet from 5% in 2011 to <br />85% in 2016 by gradually retrofitting or replacing fleet equipment. Further, the Strategic Plan <br />proposes to develop alternative energy fueling facilities to support AFVs. The Fleet Division <br />presently operates Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and hydrogen fueling stations in addition to <br />gasoline and diesel pumps. <br />Mobile Source Air Pollution Review Committee (MSRC) has approved the City's application for <br />Clean Air Transportation Local Government Match Program grant funds to implement three <br />alternative energy initiatives which include the purchase of nine AFVs, expansion of the <br />Corporate Yard CNG fueling facility, and installation of seven electric vehicle (EV) charging <br />stations. <br />The AFV total cost of $675,000 would be paid for by $270,000 from MSRC grant <br />reimbursements, $250,000 from a separate Caltrans grant reimbursement, and $155,000 from <br />55B-1
