The California Fleets and Workplace Alternative Fuels Project is a statewide effort to develop templates and best practices for permitting AFV refueling infrastructure, collaborate with colleges on first responder training, promote workplace EV charging, and work with fleets to implement petroleum reduction strategies.

The Michigan Fuel Forward project worked with a wide range of partners to convene an alternative fuel task force; included alternative fuels in regional and state transportation plans; recommended changes to codes, regulations, and permitting; develop alternative fuel signage; helped public and private fleets evaluate AFV options; and partnered with community colleges to train Michigan's first responders, mechanics, and electricians.

The Pennsylvania Partnership for Promoting Natural Gas Vehicles project provided education and outreach to municipal and school district decision makers to encourage the procurement and retrofitting of natural gas-fueled school buses and solid waste collection vehicles and developed a strategic plan for natural gas vehicle and infrastructure inspection training.

The Central Texas Fuel Independence Project expanded an interagency agreement to include alternative fueling infrastructure procurement; delivered electricity and natural gas vehicle safety training; hosted electric vehicle and natural gas workshops to educate potential fleet users in the Austin and San Antonio region; and held training seminars regarding multifamily housing and workplace electric vehicle charging.

The Fast Track to Ohio AFV Adoption project streamlined local and state processes for alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) procurement; incorporate AFVs into local Transportation Improvement Programs (TIPs); created a compressed natural gas (CNG) cylinder tracking system and Renewable Natural Gas Credit Purchase system; delivered technical and safety workshops on various fuels; and expanded the Ohio Green Fleets program and the Ohio Natural Gas Vehicle and Propane Partnerships.

The I-40 Collaboration of Clean Cities, a partnership across Arkansas and Oklahoma, recommended building codes to accommodate alternative fueling stations; created a guide for building compressed natural gas and propane alternative fueling infrastructure and electric vehicle charging installation; and developed and conducted training programs regarding alternative fuel vehicle conversions, equipment safety, and fueling infrastructure inspection.

The Accelerating Alternatives for Minnesota Drivers project provided safety and technical assistance and training related to plug-in vehicle (PEV) and natural gas fueling infrastructure; established the Minnesota Natural Gas Vehicle Workgroup and created a strategic plan for statewide natural gas vehicle implementation; establish a Minnesota green fleet recognition program; and created the DriveElectricMN.org website as an online resource for electric vehicle (EV) users (and potential EV users) in Minnesota.

The Moving North Texas Forward by Addressing Alternative Fuel Barriers project focused on educating policy makers; updating the State Implementation Plan (SIP); creating an alternative fuel vehicle parking program; holding fuel-specific deployment workshops and first responder training; educating fleet managers, decision makers, businesses, and schools about alternative fuels and advanced technology vehicles; and developing a fleet recognition program.

The Recipe for Fueling Diversity in the Energy Capitol of the World project worked to expand access to natural gas, propane, and biodiesel transportation fuels across the eight-county Houston-Galveston area. Key activities of the project included conducting an assessment of current alternative fueling infrastructure in the region and creating a plan for increasing the future infrastructure to meet demand; incorporating planning for alternative fuel vehicles into the Transportation Improvement Program and State Implementation Plan; and creating a program with the region's community colleges to train fleet managers and mechanics, first responders, and permitting and code officials.

The Southeast Regional Alternative Fuels Market Initiatives Program, which includes Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, and Tennessee, will provide first responder and vehicle maintenance technician training; develop Alternative Fuels Readiness Workbooks to guide alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) deployment readiness; assist municipalities with AFV readiness; and create and provide procurement policies and incentive models.
