Data provided from the City of Issaquah: 1. Vehicle equipment inventory for both 2007 and 2008
2. Vehicle emissions data for 2007 (baseline year) and 2008 (current
year)
3. Best Practices information and document templates provided by
Evergreen Fleets
Data was categorized according to the following attributes:
4. Vehicle ID Number5. Fuel Type6. Total Gallons7. Fuel Expenditure ($)8. Vehicle Class
•We operated from a “ground-zero” state, assuming that Issaquah had no Best Practices documentation to provide•Templates provided by Evergreen Fleets allowed us to create the following Best Practices that will qualify the City towards Green Fleets certification:1. Green Fleets Plan2. Green Vehicle Purchasing Policy3. Preventive Maintenance Program4. Reduce, Reuse, and Recover Program for Maintenance Products5. Green Rental Car and Car-Sharing Policy
Best Practices:
Recommendations/Conclusion:City of Issaquah:
• More complete data (see Discrepancy between Reported and Department Totals metric)
• Categorize vehicles by Vehicle Class in addition to Vehicle ID Number• Accurate reporting of VMT’s as a requirement for driving City vehicles• Develop Green Fleets Action Plan and other Best Practices documents from
the template drafts we have provided for further points towards certification
Evergreen Fleets: • Create a vehicle database within the online Evaluator Tool so fleet managers
can track vehicle fuel consumption more accurately• Allow this database to categorize vehicles by Vehicle ID Number as well
as by Vehicle Class• Create a search engine for Vehicle Class based on Make/Model
• Give fleet managers a grace period for providing supporting documents that prove they have followed Best Practices
