Local government fleets operate a variety of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles that range from lawnmowers, to passenger vehicles, to heavy-duty refuse trucks and construction equipment. These complex fleets typically offer easy opportunities for electrification wins that can produce substantial operational savings. However, the state of the zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) market readiness varies across vehicle and equipment sectors. As a result, ZEV transition planning based on EV availability, feasibility, and suitability is a critical success factor in municipal fleet electrification.

This Guidebook is intended to give public transit fleet operators the knowledge necessary to plan for a full fleet transition to zero-emission technologies with a ZEB Transition Plan.

CTE recently presented to the GA Drawdown Business Compact on the Georgia Tech campus. The meeting brought together experts and stakeholders to explore and identify potential projects to advance zero-emission transportation in Georgia.

The United States Postal Service has the chance to reconsider how they will plan and execute the electrification of America's oldest fleet.

In 2017, the Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE) assembled a team of local and regional organizations throughout the southeastern states of Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina to create the Southeast Alternative Fuel Deployment Partnership (SEAFDP).

Georgia has the potential to become a clean hydrogen hub. With concerted efforts by policymakers and industry leaders in Georgia, the next five years could see hydrogen stations installed throughout Georgia's commercial and industrial zones, supporting operations for the state's world-class freight and logistics infrastructure.

The USPS has chance to lead next generation fleets into a clean transportation future if it takes the opportunity. With proper planning, the USPS can leverage the capabilities of experienced zero-emission fleet planners and engineers to optimize the adoption of the next-generation fleet.

The Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE) and UPS have joined to develop a zero emission fuel cell hybrid electric delivery van as part of the Department of Energy's (DOE) investment to commercialize cost effective hydrogen technologies.
