Fleet Energy Efficiency
In April of 2006 Governor Huntsman announced his goal of increasing the state’s overall energy efficiency 20% by the year 2015. During the following 2007 general legislative session House Bill 110 was passed to formalize how agencies with state fleet vehicles will be required to contribute to the stated energy efficiency goal established by the Governor. House Bill 110’s title is “State Fleet Efficiency Requirements” but it covers a three-fold objective from the Governor and Legislature. First, the bill is intended to reduce fleet costs or increase energy efficiency. Second and equally important, the bill is intended to improve air quality in Utah by decreasing the carbon output from state vehicles. Finally, the bill is intended to contribute to a general decreased dependency on foreign oil by the United States.
