Question of the Month “What are the requirements for federal fleets under the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct 1992) and subsequent regulations and directives?”

EPAct 1992, EPAct 2005, and National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2008 Under EPAct 1992 (https://federalfleets.energy.gov/federal_requirements/fleet_requirements/by_ regulation#epact92), 75% of new covered light-duty vehicles (LDVs) acquired by federal fleets must be alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs). Federal fleets are considered covered fleets if both of the following conditions are met: • They own, operate, lease, or otherwise control 20 or more non-excluded LDVs (vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of 8,500 pounds or less) that are used primarily within a single metropolitan statistical area. Excluded vehicles include emergency, law enforcement, military tactical, and non-road vehicles, and • Those same 20 vehicles are centrally fueled or capable of being centrally fueled.

NDAA of 2008 expanded EPAct 1992’s definition of AFVs to include hybrid electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, advanced lean burn technology vehicles, and any low-greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting vehicle (as defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) acquired in a location that would qualify for an EPAct 2005, Section 701 fuel waiver. Section 701 of EPAct 2005 requires federal fleets to use alternative fuels in dual-fuel vehicles unless the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) determines an agency qualifies for a waiver; grounds for a waiver include the lack of alternative fuel availability (within five miles or 15 minutes from the vehicle’s garaged location) and cost restrictions (alternative fuel is more expensive per gallon than gasoline). To find information about waivered fleets in your area, visit the Sustainable Federal Fleet Performance Data website (http://federalfleets.energy.gov/performance_data).

Federal fleets comply with EPAct 1992 requirements using AFV acquisition credits, which are granted based on the number of AFVs acquired and the volume of biodiesel fuel used. If an agency’s total AFV credits divided by the number of covered LDV acquisitions in a fiscal year (FY) equals 75% or greater, the agency is considered to be in compliance. Federal fleets earn credits for each light-, medium-, or heavy-duty AFV they acquire each year and for every 450 gallons of pure biodiesel (B100), equivalent to 2,250 gallons of B20, used in fleet vehicles.

For more information on EPAct 1992, please refer to the Federal Energy Management Program’s (FEMP) EPAct 1992 website (https://www1.eere.energy.gov/femp/regulations/epact1992.html), as well as the full text of EPAct 1992 (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c102:H.R.776.ENR:).

Executive Orders Executive Order (E.O.) 13423 (https://federalfleets.energy.gov/federal_requirements/fleet_requirements/by_ regulation#13423) requires federal agencies with 20 or more non-excluded vehicles in their U.S. fleet to decrease petroleum consumption by 2% each year, relative to their FY 2005 baseline, through the end of FY 2015, for a total reduction of 20%. Agencies must also continue to increase their alternative fuel use by 10% per year, relative to the previous year over the same timeframe, yielding an approximately 159% increase.

E.O. 13514 (https://federalfleets.energy.gov/federal_requirements/fleet_requirements/by_regulation#13514) requires each federal agency to develop, implement, and annually update a Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan. Federal agencies must measure, reduce, and report their GHG emissions, with an overall federal government direct GHG emissions reduction goal of 28% by 2020, relative to a FY 2008 baseline. Reductions may be achieved through a variety of measures including reducing vehicle use, increasing fleet fuel efficiency, using AFVs, and implementing fleet optimization efforts. In addition, E.O. 13514 extended petroleum reduction targets established

by E.O. 13423 to FY 2020, for a total future reduction of 30%.

Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) Further requirements for federal fleets were included in the EISA 2007 (https://federalfleets.energy.gov/ federal_requirements/fleet_requirements/by_regulation#eisa), including fleet management plan requirements (Section 142), low-GHG emitting vehicle acquisition requirements (Section 141), and renewable fuel infrastructure installation requirements (Section 246). DOE is currently developing a rulemaking on the alternative fuel increase requirements under EISA Section 142.

Wisconsin Clean Cities Officially Expands Statewide

F

or the past 19 years, Wisconsin Clean Cities – Southeast Area has worked diligently to promote and educate the public about alternative fuels, vehicles, infrastructure, improving fuel efficiency, and reducing idling time. The 501(c)3 nonprofit has grown significantly over the past two years. Since 2010, the coalition has organized and participated in 120 events or public engagements statewide. They increased membership from 14 to 68 members, and the coalition as a whole increased their petroleum reduction by more than 4.2 million gasoline gallon equivalents (GGEs). In fact, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Clean Cities program recognized the impact and efforts of the coalition and on May 14, 2013, allowed them to increase their territory to encompass the entire state and change their name to Wisconsin Clean Cities (WCC).

Wisconsin Clean Cities stakeholders are recognized each year at the coalition’s annual meeting. In 2012, WCC recognized 18 fleets for their efforts to reduce petroleum use and greenhouse gas emissions.

At WCC’s annual stakeholder meeting in December 2011, its membership unanimously approved the decision to expand territory at the suggestion of its Board of Directors. WCC then informally dropped the Southeast Area from its name to better reflect their efforts and to make sure every fleet and member of the public in Wisconsin knows they can also be a part of the coalition.

“We are very excited to achieve statewide designation and feel it is vital to our state,” says Lorrie Lisek, executive director of WCC. “Southeast Wisconsin is no longer a non-attainment area for ozone, and that was why Clean Cities was originally designated for that area. We have worked hard to grow our coalition and impact other parts of the state. We want our name to reflect our work, and for all fleets, organizations, and individuals in all parts of the state to feel they can participate in our mission.”

WCC was designated as one of the first Clean Cities coalitions through the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Clean Cities program in 1994 and was created as part of the Wisconsin Governor’s Alternative Fuels Task Force. In 1998, the WCC program made the transition to become an independent, self-sustaining nonprofit coalition within the Southeastern Wisconsin community. In July 1999, WCC hired its first Executive Director, and was housed out of the downtown office of the local utility, We Energies. Today, WCC is housed in the same building, and is directed by Lorrie Lisek who started in March 2011.

“We are grateful to the coalition’s founding members almost 20 years ago for their foresight, dedication and commitment to improving air quality in Southeastern Wisconsin and it is their initial work that helped to lay the foundation for today’s successes,” says Mary Smarelli, co-chair of the WCC Board of Directors and President of Transit Express. “The extraordinary efforts over the past few years of the coalition’s staff, members and stakeholders have been instrumental in educating and assisting fleets in finding the best fit for alternative fuel usage.”

Over the last 19 years, the Board of Directors has increased from 5 members to over 12, staff has grown from 1 to 5, membership is at a decade high, and the number of stakeholders is well over 2,000. A tremendous part of that growth has occurred within the past two years. In 2010, WCC was comprised of 14 members, and in 2013 7 | June ReFUEL

boasts nearly 70 members. WCC has also worked with stakeholders to increase petroleum reduction in Wisconsin, as reflected in WCC’s annual report. In 2012, WCC stakeholders reduced more than 4.9 million gasoline gallon equivalents (GGEs) of petroleum and over 29,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions. For comparison, in 2010 WCC stakeholders reduced around 623,000 GGEs and 4,639 tons of greenhouse gas emissions. In 2010, the staff consisted of one executive director.

Today, WCC’s director has support from two full-time employees and two full-time interns.

“The entire staff at WCC should be congratulated for doing a remarkable job to fulfill their mission. They devote countless hours of time to the success of the organization by hosting numerous educational events throughout the state,” says Bryan Nudelbacher, Business Development Manager for GAIN Clean Fuel and member of the WCC Board of Directors. “They have also done a fantastic job to promote the use of natural gas as a viable transportation fuel and serve as resource for fleets that are looking to transition to alternative fuels. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) has the ability to be the fuel of the future and fuel providers throughout Wisconsin, along with WCC, are committed to making CNG a realistic and successful fuel alternative. That is why GAIN Clean Fuel supports Clean Cities.”

Idle Reduction (21%) Hybrid Vehicles (4%)

Alternative Fuel Vehicles (39%)

Wisconsin Clean Cities collects fleet data from stakeholders annually.

From 2010 to 2012, WCC significnatly increased their reductions in petroleum use and greenhouse gas emissions.

In order to maintain the Clean Cities designation from the U.S. DOE, all coalitions have to be re-designated every three years. Coalitions must demonstrate their ability to set and achieve aggressive goals for reducing petroleum usage in the transportation sector. WCC was successfully redesignated in April through the National Clean Cities Program.

WCC has “successfully tapped into the state’s strong environmental ethic, and assembled a broad-based group of active and enthusiastic stakeholders and Board members,” according to Dennis Smith and Linda Bluestein, National Clean Cities Co-Directors. “We believe that the Wisconsin Clean Cities Coalition can continue to have a significant impact on both petroleum displacement and air quality improvement throughout the state in the coming years.”

What does it mean to be a Wisconsin Smart Fleet?

A new program launched by the Wisconsin State Energy Office and Wisconsin Clean Cities is defining that label

C

ompanies and governmental agencies talk a lot about being “green” or working towards “sustainability.” Whichever buzz word is applied means that, for most, the ultimate goals are to reduce their carbon footprint, leave the world a better place for the next generation, and meet their internal economic goals. To help fleets meet these goals, the Wisconsin State Energy Office (SEO) and Wisconsin Clean Cities (WCC) are setting out to provide fleets with a planning tool and outline the different options available for their specific situations. The SEO and WCC are calling it the Wisconsin Smart Fleet program.

Participating fleets have three or more vehicles and can The Wisconsin Smart Fleet program is initially inducting 25 fleets consist of any type of vehicle. with 3 or more vehicles, and is funded through a two-year U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) grant called “Forwarding Wisconsin’s Fuel Choice.” After the granting period, the program will continue because the SEO and WCC firmly believe it can make a difference for fleets. The fleets are already implementing or will implement the use of alternative and renewable fuels, advanced vehicles, and other petroleum reduction measures.

Fleets entering the program go through a three step process: 1. A fleet analysis. Fleets are asked to share information about their vehicles and equipment, internal policies and incentives, fuel usage, and future vehicle acquisitions.

2. A site visit. WCC travels to the fleet’s location to gain greater insight into the fleet’s daily operations, geography, etc. The additional information is vital to recommending the best solutions for each fleets individual situation.

3. A meeting to discuss recommendations and Smart Fleet rating based on the analysis and site visit.

The report of recommendations is meant to be used as a planning tool by the fleet and will outline different methods and strategies specific to each fleet to further reduce fuel costs, petroleum usage, greenhouse gas emissions, and improve their rating within the program. The rating is a points-based system and fleets can obtain a higher rating based on the types and methods they use to reduce their petroleum usage (i.e. the more a fleet does to reduce their petroleum usage, the more points they can score). A fleet can be designated as 5-star, 3-star, 1-star, or Smart Starter, and every five years the fleet has an opportunity to move up within the rating system.

The fleet analysis will include all off-road equipment, such as forlifts, landscaping equipment, construction equipment, and streetsweepers.

Another benefit to fleets within the program is the promotion and outreach the SEO and WCC will provide statewide. The Wisconsin Smart Fleet program is in the process of developing a logo and website, and the fleets and program information will be available through the site soon. For some, the program provides an opportunity to show they are taking strides to contribute to a green supply chain, and for others it can contribute to significant cost savings, but for

most it will provide valuable information to move forward.

So, what does it mean to be a Wisconsin Smart Fleet? It means the organization or agency is genuinely putting forth effort and time toward making their vehicle and equipment fleet more environmentally friendly. In other words, they are working to reduce harmful emissions, increase energy security, and contributing towards a growing economy in Wisconsin.

If you are driving down the highway or around town, or looking at a fleet’s website, look for the Wisconsin Smart Fleet logo. Then you will know they are contributing to Wisconsin’s sustainable future.

For more information about the Wisconsin Smart Fleet Program, call (414) 221-4487 or email info@wicleancities.org.

Forwarding Wisconsin’s Fuel Choice is jointly administered by the State of Wisconsin Energy Office and Wisconsin Clean Cities. The project is supported by the Department of Energy through the Clean Cities’ Implementation Initiatives to Advance Alternative Fuel Markets program. Under these projects, local public-private partnerships are accelerating the deployment of alternative fuel vehicles and conducting public outreach and training in communities across the country. Since 1993, the Energy Department’s Clean Cities initiative has supported community-led efforts to deploy vehicle and infrastructure technologies across a broad portfolio of alternative fuels, helping to reduce America’s reliance on petroleum.

F l eet s Ac r o s s t h e U . S . : How Other Fleets Are Using Alternative Fuels And Vehicles

Natural Gas Minibuses Help New Jersey Recover From Hurricane Sandy

P

elting rain, high winds, and surging water pummeled the Eastern Seaboard in November of 2012 as Hurricane Sandy chewed up the East Coast, leaving in its wake a swath of loss and destruction. In advance of this storm of the century, the demand for gasoline spiked as thousands were forced to evacuate, and many others stocked up on fuel for their portable generators.

After the storm passed, power outages and a crippled delivery infrastructure led to gas shortages that lasted for weeks, hindering cleanup efforts and paralyzing entire cities. Atlantic City, New Jersey, took a heavy toll in physical damage with numerous homes and boardwalk attractions damaged beyond repair.

Atlantic City’s main form of public transportation for nearly 100 years has been a fleet of owner-operated minibuses called Jitneys. With help from the U.S. Department of Energy through the Recovery Act, Atlantic City’s Jitney bus operators were able to replace their aging fleet of 190 minibuses with new models running on clean, compressed natural gas fuel. As Hurricane Sandy approached, these vehicles were pressed into action for the evacuation. And because of their dedicated CNG fuel, the Jitneys were just about the only vehicles moving during and after the storm.

“Bay-front properties got whacked real bad. The boardwalk actually came up through the force of the storm and relocated itself several blocks—some of it inside my garage. We saw on the news up in New York and Statin Island people were fighting over gasoline,” said Jitney Owner and Operator, Frank Bechtel. “We don’t have price gouging.

We didn’t have fuel shortages. We never had an issue where the gas—where the fuel supply ran out. We never had an issue where a bus couldn’t perform an emergency service or a convenience service because we weren’t going to be able to get fuel. It was a complete, uninterrupted compressed natural gas supply.”

In Atlantic City, at least, CNG allowed the community to come together and continue a tradition of looking out for one another.

“We’re not government employees. We’re not a big company. We’re independent, individual owner-operators, and we’re part of the community,” Bechtel continued. “And throughout our history for 100 years, whenever there was a fire or a building collapsed or any type of situation, the Jitneys were always the ones who evacuated the people, moved them to a Red Cross shelter—or any situation where people needed to be moved in an emergency situation—the city and the county calls on the Jitneys to move them.”
