11. Current Projects: The Montgomery County NGV Conversion Initiative is a comprehensive conversion project which includes some of Pennsylvania's largest companies and a diverse set of business platforms. This project seeks to partner local transportation organizations; municipalities; public transportation; carting; construction; and service industries into one unique application, while simultaneously utilizing private investment in infrastructure to help spur the usage of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) as an alternative to gasoline and diesel.

12. Current Projects: The Eastern Pennsylvania Propane School Bus Conversion Initiative seeks to help 6 counties in eastern Pennsylvania, utilize 50 new school buses that run on propane. The goals and the objectives of the project are to provide air quality benefits to school children who ride these buses and fuel cost savings to those districts who utilize propane to replace diesel in their vehicles. This project will be an aggregated project with 2 private bus companies and 2 school districts brought together by The Greater Philadelphia Clean Cities Program (GPCCP).

13. Current Projects: The Keystone State LNG Conversion Initiative seeks to help fleets convert to LNG for long haul applications. Our project will utilize our centralized location near the convergence of 3 interstate highways to help construct The Commonwealths 1st public LNG refueling site. Our project will consist of building a public LNG site that will be anchored by a fleet of 20 Class 8 tractors. This project will help stimulate the use of LNG as an alternative to gasoline and diesel for long haul applications. The Northeast Extension CNG Conversion Initiative seeks to spur the acceptance of utilizing compressed natural gas as a vehicle fuel. Our 2 project partner’s unique application will convert 23 vehicles that will utilize a new CNG fueling station. This project will introduce CNG to the public and to private companies that run along the Northeast extensions of the interstate highways. The project will promote the economic and environmental benefits of CNG in the Northeastern part of Pennsylvania.

14. Current Projects: The Southeastern PA CNG Vehicle Conversion Initiative This project will introduce CNG to southeastern PA by showcasing some of the region’s most recognizable companies and their own fleets utilizing CNG as a motor fuel. The strength of this application comes from the commitment by all project partners, even business competitors, to utilizing PA’s abundance of natural gas. The aggregation of all of our partners into a single application will promote the acceptance and new opportunities possible when businesses of all types support natural gas as a conventional motor fuel. The Tinicum Township Propane Vehicle Conversion Initiative seeks to convert 3 separate fleets in Tinicum Township from gasoline to propane fuel. The aggregation of these companies together will convert 34 vehicles ranging from Ford Crown Victoria Police Cruisers to dedicated E-450 shuttle buses.

15. Current Projects: The W.W. Transport and Easton PA CNG Vehicle Conversion Project This project seeks to expand the usage of natural gas as a domestically produced reliable vehicle fuel. This project will help spur the usage of CNG to an undersubscribed area, in both the availability of regional infrastructure and vehicle conversions. Our project will help purchase and convert 30 Class 8 diesel tractors to CNG. The development of this project will be instrumental in helping Northampton county and more specifically Easton PA with its foray into using CNG as a vehicle fuel. The Commonwealth Energy Group CNG Vehicle Conversion Initiative is a project assembled by the Eastern Pennsylvania Alliance for Clean Transportation (EP-ACT) which aggregates 3 unique business platforms into a single application for CNG vehicle conversions. The project will commence around a newly planned CNG fueling station located at 1325 East Drinker Street, Dunmore, PA 18512, near Scranton Pennsylvania. Our 3 project partners; Road Scholar Trucking; DeNaples Auto Parts; DeNaples Sanitation combined will convert 19 vehicles from diesel to run on CNG. This project will be the stepping stone for each of our partners foray into utilizing the Commonwealth abundance of natural gas as a vehicle fuel.

16. Current Projects: Initiative for Resiliency in Energy through Vehicles (iREV) National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO) iREV is a multi-partner, national effort to catalyze the acceptance and use of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) in preparing for and responding to emergencies. The driving principle behind iREV is to influence state and local response strategies by showcasing the role of AFVs in mitigating a weak link in disaster contingency planning: the vulnerability of petroleum supply during emergencies, including natural and man-made disasters. Ford Plug-In Hybrid Electric Demonstration Program and Social Media Campaign EP-ACT will provide education and outreach workshops for Ford Plug-in Hybrids in order to accelerate public acceptance toward hybrid and electric vehicles. EP-ACT will help coordinate a social media campaign utilzing real-time data to show successful education and understanding to the value of utilizing hybrids to replace ICE’s.

17. Pending Applications The Anti-Idling in School Zones Educational Development Project (TAISZED) (EPA Application) will enhance students; faculty and bus driver’s awareness to the environmental impact idling poses. The specific short term goal will be to implement a model of an anti-idling campaign at 6 middle schools across EPA region 3. The goal and measurable outcomes at these schools will be the reduction of harmful Green House Gas (GHG’s) emissions and particulate matter by implementing an idle reduction policy developed by students at each school. EV Showcases Promoting Innovative Sales Approaches (DOE Application) The key project goal is to increase EV sales by demonstrating and refining innovative EV sales approaches at dealerships that are centered on a promotional showcase of commercially available EV models and residential charging equipment. The EV showcases established across multiple states will deploy strategies that improve the buying experience for potential EV owners and then will be evaluated to determine which approaches maximize EV sales.

18. 18 Federal Legislation Fixing America ’ s Surface Transportation Act, or FAST Act ( Public Law 114-94) ( Dec. 2015) There are several FAST Act provisions with implications for Clean Cities portfolio items: National Electric Vehicle Charging and Alternative Fuel Station Corridors. Section 1413 of the bill charges the U. S. Department of Transportation ( DOT ) with designating national plug - in electric vehicle ( PEV ) charging and hydrogen, propane, and natural gas fueling corridors in strategic locations along major highways by December 2016. DOT will update and re - designate the corridors every five years. PEV Charging on Federal Property. Section 1413 also explicitly authorizes the U. S. General Services Administration or other federal agencies to install electric vehicle supply equipment ( EVSE ) that may be used by federal employees and certain others to charge their privately - owned vehicles. Those who use the EVSE to charge vehicles must pay to reimburse the agencies for the EVSE procurement, installation, and maintenance. State High Occupancy Lane ( HOV ) Exemptions. Section 1411 extends the provisions related to HOV lane exemptions for U. S. Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA )- certified low - emission and energy - efficient vehicles. Only alternative fuel vehicles ( AFVs ) and PEVs, however, may access HOV lanes toll - free through September 30, 2025. States are allowed to implement toll - access HOV programs for other low - emission and energy - efficient vehicles through September 30, 2019. Tire Fuel Efficiency Standards. Section 24331 states that DOT, EPA, and the U. S. Department of Energy will develop regulations for passenger car tire fuel efficiency standards by December 2017.
