Petroleum Reduction Plan The Department of General Services (DGS) Office of Fleet and Asset Management (OFAM) has created a Petroleum Reduction Advisory Committee to develop a plan outlined in AB 236.

Zero Emission Vehicle Action Plan On March 23, 2012, Governor Brown issued Executive Order (EO) B-16-12 ordering "that California’s state vehicle fleet increase the number of its zero-emission vehicles through the normal course of fleet replacement so that at least 10 percent of fleet purchases of light-duty vehicles be zero-emission by 2015 and at least 25 percent of fleet purchases of light-duty vehicles be zero-emission by 2020. This directive shall not apply to vehicles that have special performance requirements necessary for the protection of the public safety and welfare."
