Alternative Fuel Use

The Alaska Department of Transportation (DOT) is required to evaluate the cost, efficiency, and commercial availability of alternative fuels for automotive purposes every five years, and convert to or purchase vehicles that operate using alternative fuels whenever practicable. The DOT may participate in joint ventures with public or private partners that will foster the availability of alternative fuels for all consumers of automotive fuel. (Reference Alaska Statutes 44.42.020)

Global Warming Mitigation Initiative

The Alaska Climate Change Sub-Cabinet is established to advise the Governor on climate change strategy, including opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the use of alternative fuels, energy conservation, fuel efficiency, and transportation planning. (Reference Administrative Order 238, 2007)
