Council Direction Statement
The Town's vehicle fleet represents a significant sector of direct municipal greenhouse gas emissions. The fleet study will analyze the feasibility of altering the configuration of the municipal fleet to help meet the Town's greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals. The study will include the following components: 1. Current Available Fuel Vehicle and Equipment Review; 2. Infrastructure Needs Assessment; 3. Facility Capacity Analysis; 4. Repair and Maintenance Needs Assessment; 5. Projected Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Scenarios; 6. Projected Costs and Return on Investment (ROI) Scenarios; and 7. Draft Phased Fleet and Equipment Conversion Plan.
One of the strategies listed in the municipal operations section of Chapter 10 in the Comprehensive Plan is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions due to municipal fleet operations. The study will provide the Town with a draft fleet and equipment conversion plan that can be used to inform future decisions and reduce fleet emissions.
