Construction Fleets Initiatives |
 Construction equipment produces approximately 10 percent of all ozone-causing emissions in North Texas. To improve air quality, the Regional Transportation Council (RTC), through the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) is working to reduce emissions from this source. NCTCOG staff has developed a model Clean Construction Specification which may be incorporated into public works construction contracts. The specification is intended to increase the use of the cleanest available construction equipment and establish best operational practices.

In March 2010, RTC approved a one-year Clean Construction Demonstration Project which will help evaluate the potential impacts of implementing the Clean Construction Specification, both for industry and for local governments. NCTCOG staff will partner with local governments across the region on a voluntary basis to incorporate the Clean Construction Specification into public works contracts and/or collect responses to the Contractor Questionnaire. Resources for the Demonstration Project are outlined below.
