Laws and Regulations

Electric Vehicle (EV) Parking Space Regulation

An individual is not allowed to stop, stand, or park a motor vehicle within any parking space specifically designated for parking and charging EVs unless the motor vehicle is an EV and has been issued an alternative fuel vehicle special plate or sticker.

Clean Fuel Contracts for Heavy-Duty Equipment

Any state agency that contracts for the use of on- or off-road heavy-duty diesel equipment in Maricopa, Pima, and Pinal Counties must construct its Requests for Proposals in a manner that gives incentives to bidders that use equipment retrofitted with diesel retrofit kits, newer clean diesel technologies and fuels, or biodiesel or other cleaner petroleum diesel alternatives. (Reference Executive Order 2007-03, 2007)

Joint Use of Government Fueling Infrastructure

To the extent practical, a state agency or political subdivision that operates an alternative fueling station must allow vehicles other state agencies or political subdivisions own or operate to fuel at the station. Recognized alternative fuels include propane, natural gas, electricity, hydrogen, and a blend of hydrogen with propane or natural gas. (Reference Arizona Revised Statutes 49-572)

School Bus Idle Reduction Pilot Program

As part of the Children's Environmental Health Project, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) runs the School Bus Idling Pilot Program to reduce bus idling near schools. ADEQ has worked with school districts to develop a draft bus idling policy, which many of the school districts involved in the pilot program have implemented. Key elements in the draft policy include: having drivers turn off buses upon reaching a school or other location and not turn on the engine until the vehicle is ready to depart; parking buses at least 100 feet from a school air intake system; and posting appropriate signage advising drivers to limit idling near the school.
