CITY FLEET <br />Liquid fuels consumption is controlled by the Public Works Department, which includes the Parks, Police, and <br />Fire departments. The liquid fuels sector is the third largest source of GHG emissions for city operations. This <br />sector includes fuel (gasoline, diesel, etc.) consumed by city vehicles. Both the emissions and consumption levels <br />decreased between 2005 and 2015, in part due to an increase of in the use of alternative low carbon fuels (E- <br />85). <br />City Actions <br />Actions the city can take to further reduce emissions include: <br />• Set annual targets to reduce GHG emissions through efficiency, conservation, and renewable energy <br />o Record daily miles traveled by vehicle <br />o Identify vehicles that travel fewer than 110 miles (range of a Nissan Leaf) or are idle long enough <br />between use to be sufficiently charged for longer distances <br />o As low mileage vehicles are replaced, replace with electric vehicles; EV range will increase as <br />technology improves (Chevy Bolts have a range of 280 miles) <br />o For vehicles driven longer distances, purchase fuel efficient, and/or Flex Fuel vehicles that use <br />low carbon alternative fuels (E-85) <br />o Identify vehicles that are over -sized for their purpose, replace with right -sized, more efficient <br />vehicles <br />o Identify opportunities to reduce VMT through more efficient routes <br />• Consider GHG emissions in the purchase of new vehicles <br />o Purchase fuel efficient vehicles when EVs are not available or practical <br />• Study the feasibility of replacing combustion vehicles with electric vehicles <br />• Participate in a bulk purchase for fleet vehicles with the State of Minnesota Department of <br />Administration, or other partnership (Drive Electric Minnesota) <br />• Install EV charging stations at public facilities for city fleets and personal employee vehicles <br />• Improve efficiency of routes to reduce vehicle miles traveled <br />• Convert heavy-duty vehicles to compressed natural gas or biodiesel <br />• Encourage or incentivize employees to take transit, bike or walk, or telecommute at least once a week <br />The following measures can be tracked using GreenStep Cities Step 4: <br />• Vehicle miles traveled (VMT) for gasoline and diesel fleets <br />• Average miles per gallon (MPG) for gasoline and diesel fleets <br />• Number of electric vehicles in city fleet <br />• City employee VMT per day <br />61I:1q:11I1ICU IOF-11L1Ir1110L1fe11 <br />The Community Energy Report developed by Xcel Energy, suggests the city maintains approximately 1,800 of its <br />own streetlights. Between 2010 and 2015, the city has replaced 40 to 60 lights each year. At this rate, if the city <br />were to replace 60 lights each year, all lights would not be replaced for 25 years. To achieve 2040 goals, lights <br />will need to be replaced at a rate of at least 75 lights each year. <br />City Action: <br />• Create a plan to accelerate the rate of replacing streetlights with LED fixtures <br />• Enter energy use data from streetlights into B3 <br />
