Laws and Regulations
Fuel-Efficient and Alternative Fuel Vehicle Use
The Mississippi Department of Finance and Administration¿¿¿s Bureau of Fleet Management (Bureau) coordinates and promotes fuel efficiency and economy when state agencies purchase, lease, rent, acquire, use, maintain, and dispose of vehicles. The Bureau encourages state agencies to use fuel-efficient or hybrid electric vehicles appropriate for the intended purpose and, when feasible, use alternative fuels, including ethanol, biodiesel, natural gas, or electricity to operate the vehicles. By July 1, 2014, at least 75% of all vehicles titled under the Bureau must have a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimated fuel economy rating of at least 40 miles per gallon for highway driving. (Reference Mississippi Code 25-1-77)
State Employee Travel Policy
All state agencies and institutions must develop and adopt travel policies that include strategies to reduce petroleum consumption, such as carpooling to meetings and purchasing alternative fuels where available. (Reference Executive Order 82, 2009)
