Alternative Fuel Use Requirement
Effective June 1, 2015, all state and local government agencies must use 100% biofuels or electricity to operate all publicly owned vehicles. To phase in this requirement, all state agencies must achieve 40% biofuel or electricity use by June 1, 2013. To allow the motor vehicle fuel needs of state and local government to be satisfied by Washington-produced biofuels, the Washington Department of General Administration and local governments may contract in advance and execute contracts with public or private producers and suppliers for the purchase of appropriate biofuels.
