Clean Fleet Policy

The Clean Fleet Policy is one strategy to reduce emissions from local fleet operations by providing a framework for efficient and low-emitting fleet operations.  This helps the region work toward attainment of the federal ozone standard and improve overall air quality.  On December 11, 2014, the Regional Transportation Council (RTC) approved a resolution supporting the adoption and implementation of this revised policy by entities with fleet operations in the nonattainment area.

As of March 2025, 94 entities have adopted the Clean Fleet Policy.

Background


Previous Clean Fleet Vehicle Policy (effective 2005-2014)

This policy provided guidance for reducing emissions through vehicle acquisition, maintenance, and operations. Adopting organizations also completed annual reporting, including information on fleet characteristics and best operational practices to help NCTCOG understand fleet trends and policy implementation.  As of June 2011, 104 entities had adopted the Clean Fleet Vehicle Policy.  Key documents associated with this older version included the RTC Resolution and Model Ordinance, Frequently Asked Questions, Refueling Guidance and Air Quality Training Manual.  These documents are available upon request.
