What types of fleets are likely to be interested in choosing the Alternative Compliance option?
A. Although Alternative Compliance provides financial incentives and/or greenhouse gas emission reduction benefits to all participating fleets, it may be a particularly good option for fleets in areas where suitable alternative fuels and/or AFVs are not readily available. It also is a good option for fleets that can maximize biodiesel use. Alternative Compliance gives fleets flexibility to pursue innovative approaches to reducing petroleum use in lieu of acquiring AFVs. These approaches include, but are not limited to, purchasing HEVs, increasing fleet fuel efficiency, increasing the use of alternative fuel blends, reducing vehicle miles traveled, and using alternative fuels in AFVs.
