Executive Summary
All State Fleet Entities (SFEs) participated in the nineteenth annual report on the State Motor
Vehicle Fleet. The following summarizes the State’s efforts to comply with the requirements of
A.R.S. § 41-803:
The State is mandated to have at least 40% of the total fleet capable of using Alternative Fuel
Vehicles (AFVs).
Of the State’s 5,169 light duty vehicles that qualify under the alternative fuel mandates, a
total of 3,749 or 73% can use alternative fuels. After adjusting for 162 vehicle equivalents
earned pursuant to clean burning fuel usage, the percentage of AFVs increases to 76%.
In Maricopa County, the State’s most populous county, the mandate is to have at least 90% of the
qualifying fleet capable of using alternative fuels.
Of Maricopa County’s 2,780 vehicles, 2,257 or 81% can use alternative fuels. This is a
decrease of 1% over last year’s 82%; however, when adjusted for 162 Vehicle Equivalents
the percentage increases to 87%. To comply with this mandate, State entities must continue
to purchase vehicles capable of using alternative fuels for use in Maricopa County or use
more alternative fuel.
There is also a State and Federal requirement that 75% of all new vehicles purchased for use in
counties greater than 250,000 population can operate on alternative fuels.
In FY 2017, 92%, of all State vehicles purchased can use alternative fuel, excluding
Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs).
Pinal County is a new addition to the report. However, sufficient data from Central Arizona
Community College was not available at the time of report.
The State of Arizona follows State and Federal requirements. When compared to other States and
alternative fuel provider fleets included in the Federal mandates, Arizona is ranked among the top
in compliance and banking credits.

Background
During the Forty-Third Legislature, Second Regular Session, 1998, SB 1269 Alternative Fuels was
passed and signed into law on June 1, 1998. The Alternative Fuels bill established a State Motor
Vehicle Fleet Alternative Fuel Coordinator (Coordinator) in the Arizona Department of
Administration (ADOA) to ensure that SFEs comply with the State alternative fuel mandates
(purchases, conversions, waivers, and certifications) of the bill.
A.R.S. § 41-803 includes requirements for reporting, purchasing, and operation of State-owned
vehicles. The most significant requirements are:
On or before August 1 of each year, all State agencies and departments shall make
information available to the ADOA Director regarding vehicle cost, operation,
maintenance and mileage and other information as established by the director in
policies and procedures for the purposes of a report concerning the use of alternative
fuels and clean burning fuels in the state motor vehicle fleet.
Purchases of all new motor vehicles that primarily operate in counties with a population
of more than 250,000 persons and that have a gross vehicle weight of 8,500 pounds or
less shall meet the following minimum requirements for vehicles: For model year 2001
and all subsequent model years, 75% of new motor vehicles purchased shall be capable
of operating on alternative fuels or clean burning fuels (A.R.S. § 41-803 (G).5). The
Coordinator may waive these requirements pursuant to A.R.S. § 41-803 (I) 1-2.
The Coordinator and the Governor's Office of Energy Policy shall develop and
implement a vehicle fleet energy conservation plan (Conservation Plan) for the
purposes of reducing vehicle fuel consumption and to encourage and progressively
increase the use of alternative fuels and clean burning fuels in State-owned vehicles.
The plans shall include:
1. A timetable by which fleet vehicles shall be replaced with vehicles that have demonstrated high fuel economy estimates within their vehicle
class.
2. A timetable for increasing the use of alternative fuels and clean burning fuels in fleet vehicles either through purchase or conversion. The
timetable shall reflect the following schedule and percentage of vehicles
which operate on alternative fuels or clean burning fuels:
a) Not less than 40% of the total fleet by December 31, 1995, except for community college districts. Community college
districts shall comply by December 31, 2002.
b) Not less than 90% of the total fleet operating primarily in counties with populations exceeding 1,200,000 persons
-
Background
Page 2 | ADOA Statewide Fleet Report November 2017
according to the most recent Federal decennial census by
December 31, 1997, except for community college districts.
Community college districts shall comply by December 31,
2004.
3. Options for increasing, whenever possible, the use of vehicles that have the capability to use available alternative fuels or clean burning fuels, or
vehicles that may be economically converted, if needed, for the use of
alternative fuels or clean burning fuels.
4. Options for the use of demonstrated innovative technologies that promote energy conservation and reduced fuel consumption.
5. Methods that promote efficient trip planning and State vehicle use.
6. Carpooling and vanpooling for agency employees for commuting and job related travel.
Each year the Coordinator must report annually to the Governor and the Legislature on the use of
alternative and clean burning fuels in the State Motor Vehicle Fleet. A.R.S. § 41-803 (R) requires
that the report shall include the following:
1. The number of State fleet vehicles; 2. The number of State vehicles used primarily in Maricopa County; 3. The number of State fleet vehicles capable of using alternative fuels; 4. Progress on compliance with Federal and State guidelines mandating the
conversion of State fleet vehicles to alternative fueled vehicles;
5. Alternative fuels usage data; 6. Information received from SFEs requested by ADOA and the Fleet Coordinator;
and,
7. Information gathered from local offices of Federal agencies regarding progress made toward implementing the Federal mandates relating to the conversion of
motor vehicle fleets to alternative fuels.
This is the nineteenth annual report by the Coordinator pursuant to A.R.S. § 41-803 (R). The data
included in this report was provided to the Coordinator by each SFE in August and September of
2017.
The following pages contain data tables, charts and graphs that describe the progress of the State
towards meeting the vehicle alternative fuel mandates set by the Arizona State Legislature and the
Federal Government.

Compliance with Alternative Fuel Mandates as Percent of Fleet
The fourth data requirement is to report the State’s progress in complying with Federal and State
guidelines which mandate the transition of State fleet vehicles from gasoline to AFVs.
Relative to the State’s efforts to comply with the mandate to have 40% of the qualifying fleet
capable of using alternative fuels, excluding exempts there are 5,169 LDVs of which 3,749 or 73%
can use alternative fuels. For the 15th consecutive year, the State exceeded the 40% mandate.
In addition to the nonexempt 3,749 LDVs capable of using alternative fuels, there are 162 vehicle
equivalents which would bring the FY 2017 total to 3,911 or 76% of the State’s nonexempt LDVs
capable of using alternative fuels.

Compliance of Federal Agencies in Arizona
The seventh data requirement is to provide information gathered from local offices of Federal
agencies regarding progress made toward implementing State and Federal mandates relating to the
transition of motor vehicle fleets to alternative fuels. The Federal General Services Administration
(GSA) provided the following data for 2015 (2016 and 2017 are not yet available):
Table 14: Vehicles Capable of Using Alternative Fuels Vehicle Type Vehicle Count
Unleaded/Diesel 13,712
CNG 64
DSL - B20 None Reported
DSL - B100 None Reported
E85 5,486
ELE 87
Total Vehicles 19,349
Total AFVs 5,637
The GSA reported that 5,637 of 19,349 Federal vehicles reported were AFVs, which is 29% of
total vehicles.

Other Statistical Data
A.R.S. § 41-803 (S) awards vehicle equivalents for the use of clean burning fuel. The vehicle
equivalents are calculated as follows:
• One vehicle equivalent for every 450 gallons of neat biodiesel (B100) or 2,250 gallons of a diesel fuel substitute in vehicles with a GVW rating of at least 8,500 pounds.
• One vehicle equivalent for every 530 gallons of the fuel prescribed in section 1-215, paragraph 7, subdivision (d).

Conclusion
A.R.S. § 41-803 (G) and (H) specifies that a minimum percentage of vehicle purchased be
“…capable of operating...” on alternative fuels. A.R.S. § 41-803 (K) sets a target for a percentage
of total fleet vehicles “…which operate…” on alternative fuels. The discrepancy between the terms
used in these paragraphs leads to uncertainty as to whether the original intent of the statute was to
create a fleet with the capability to use alternative fuels or to set a minimum percentage of vehicles
that use alternative fuels on an ongoing basis.
Assuming the intent was to set a target for purchase of AFVs, then this report demonstrates
ongoing compliance with the statutory requirements.
However, if the intent of the statute was to require that a percentage of vehicles use alternative
fuels, then additional clarification is needed. The current fleet budgets do not support the
additional costs associated with purchasing alternative fuel capable vehicles and the use of
alternative fuels. For example, over 96.7% of the State’s AFVs can use E85 ethanol-based fuel.
Because ethanol contains approximately 34% less energy per gallon than gasoline, vehicles
operating on E85 fuel yield fewer miles per gallons than conventional fuel vehicles. While there
has not been a determination as to the net cost of using alternative fuels, A.R.S. § 41-803 (H) sets
a limit of no greater than a 30% cost increase over conventional fuel. Paragraph (H) also exempts
use of alternative fuels if refueling facilities are not available. At this point, aging infrastructure
has led to the decommissioning of many of the State’s alternative fuel sites because of increased
maintenance costs.
At the time that A.R.S. § 41-803 was established, it was likely assumed there would be a significant
market penetration of ethanol based and other alternative fuels. To date, the trend has been more
towards higher efficiency gasoline and clean diesel powered vehicles. While in some areas of the
country E85 is not uncommon, in Arizona, the availability of E85 is limited.
It is also noteworthy to consider that the major area of emphasis in alternatives to gasoline and
diesel powered vehicles is towards battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and hybrid electric vehicles
(HEVs). In recent years, both the availability and affordability of electric vehicles has been steadily
increasing, along with the development of the necessary charging infrastructure. In addition, motor
vehicle manufactures are reducing the number of available “Flex” fuel models each year. This may
pose a potential problem in maintaining Federal standards in the future.
The Conservation Plan required under A.R.S. § 41-803 (K) is, “…for the purposes of reducing
vehicle fuel consumption and to encourage and progressively increase the use of alternative
fuels…” It appears the intent of A.R.S. § 41-803 was to increase the use of ethanol and other
gasoline substitutes to meet those goals; however, Paragraph F of the statutes suggests that the
alternative fuel plan can be modified as necessary. Considering the state of the current alternative
fuel market and emerging technologies, it may be appropriate to revisit the means and methods by
which the plan addresses the intent of the statute.
