• Abstract:
  In 2016 the Department of Public Works (DPW) began a Clean Fleet initiative that supports the City of Cambridge’s 2050 carbon neutrality goals under the Metro Mayors Climate Commitment1 and complements the City’s Net Zero Action Plan.2 To address fleet GHG emissions, the City is working with the U.S. Dept. of Transportation’s Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe) to 1) develop strategies to decrease greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from the municipal fleet; 2) establish a 2030 fleet GHG emissions reduction target from the 2016 baseline; and 3) create a fleet implementation plan to reach that target.3 This report addresses the first two priorities; an implementation plan will be developed subsequently.
