Fleet Recognition

Lone Star Clean Fuels Alliance and other Clean Cities organizations across the country collect data annually from stakeholders on their use of alternative fuels, advanced vehicle technologies and fuel-saving strategies.  When we know which technologies our stakeholders are using we are better able to support them through targeted education, identifying funding and peer mentoring opportunities and publicizing their efforts. This information is shared with the Department of Energy’s Vehicle Technology Office where they review national trends, facilitate discussion with industries on specific technical issues, identify areas for research and development, and funding opportunities. 

Congratulations to our 2022 Awardees!

We want to recognize your efforts!

Email us below to learn how you can participate in our Fleet Recognition program.

Fleet Innovator Awards FAQ

Send us your contact information and tell us what types of technologies, fuels or policies you are implementing.  In January, we start sending out information requests to our stakeholders. As part of the national Clean Cities program we count the following as alternative fuels:

  • Biodiesel
  • Electricity
  • Ethanol (E85)
  • Hydrogen
  • Natural gas (CNG, LNG) and renewable natural gas
  • Propane and renewable propane
  • Renewable diesel

 

and include:

  • Fuel Economy improvements
  • Idle Reduction policies and technologies
  • Vehicle Miles Traveled reductions (includes employee programs)
  • Construction phase pre-wiring for EV charging

We’ll ask for the type of vehicle- heavy-duty truck, shuttle-van, etc. and either the number of miles traveled OR amount of alternative fuel used.  

We’ll ask other questions about Vehicle Miles traveled  reduction measures (for employees) and return by the deadline. If you’ve added new fueling or charging stations, that’s important too.

We use this information to understand what types of education we can provide,  identify networking, and funding opportunities. This information is also shared with the Department of Energy’s Vehicle Technologies Office so they can understand what is happening nationally and can provide funding and research and development opportunities.

We’ll send you a request form in January for information for the prior calendar year.

Don't be left out!

If your fleet operates in the Austin Metro 5-county area (Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis and Williamson counties)  and utilizes any of these fuels, technologies or programs, we’d like to see you are recognized.
