Diamond and Gold Members:

Clean Cities dates back to the Alternative Motor Fuels Act of 1988 and the Clean Air Act Amend-ments of 1990. These laws, which encouraged the production and use of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) and the reduction of vehicle emissions, led to the creation of the Alternative Fuels and Advanced Vehicles Data Center (AFDC) in 1991. The AFDC’s mission was to collect, analyze, and distribute data used to evaluate alternative fuels and vehicles.

In 1992, the enactment of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct) required certain vehicle fleets to acquire AFVs. Subsequently, DOE created Clean Cities in 1993 to provide informational, technical, and financial resources to EPAct-regulated fleets and voluntary adopters of alternative fuels and vehicles. Wisconsin Clean Cities - Southeast Area was one of the first coalitions as it was founded in 1994 as a voluntary, nonprofit organization. Today, nearly 100 different Clean Cities coalitions exist across the United States.

The AFDC became and continues to be the clearinghouse for these resources. Its sister website, FuelEconomy.gov, provides consumers with information on emissions, fuel economy, and energy impact of all vehicles, based on vehicle data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The site also provides tips for drivers on maximizing fuel efficiency. FuelEconomy.gov was created in response to DOE’s requirement under the 1975 Energy Policy and Conservation Act to publish and distribute an annual fuel economy guide for consumers.

A: Owning, leasing, or renting an alternative fuel or advanced technology vehicle can be very rewarding. However, what if the trip is further than down the street, or even across several states? One of the greatest inconveniences would be running out of fuel midway through the trip with nowhere to fuel. Listed below are just a few resources available to drivers to find locations of stations for their fuel of choice.

10 | January ReFUEL

Quest ion of the MonthQ: Where can I find locations of alternative fueling stations?

Alternative Fuels & Advanced Vehicles Data Center Station LocatorThe AFDC’s Alternative Fueling Station Locator is very user friendly and is great for users of any level of computer knowledge. Drivers can use the basic search by simply choosing the fuel type and zip code for the travel area. To get more specific results, drivers can also use the advanced search that allows the user to choose the type of station and payment method. The site additionally has links to maps for truckstop electrification, biomass resources, and geographic data, analysis and trends.

Alt Fuel Prices.com This site allows users to search for alternative fueling stations as well as listed prices for the fuel. Similar to the AFDC’s Alternative Fueling Station Locator, users can enter the zip code, or city and state, in addition to selecting the fuel type, to search for stations. The site also provides a trip planner for drivers. The most useful feature of Alt Fuel Prices.com are the pop-up windows for each sta-tion location on the map. The pop-up windows feature the name of the station, address, phone number, price and date the price was updated, and comments that outline station reliability, or details on a station that is hard to find. In fact, by clicking on the date listed, users can view a graph of past prices. This tool is fairly simple to use and can be used by users of any level of computer knowledge.

National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s TransAtlasThe TransAtlas is an advanced mapping tool for stations of all alternative fuel types. It has a map of the entire United States and can zoom in to street level. Addition-ally, it allows the user to view vehicle density and produc-tion facilities. For waivered fleets, it lists station locations by fleet type. It is a more complicated tool and less user friendly than the AFDC’s Alternative Fueling Station Loca-tor or Alt Fuel Prices.com. It should be used by people with higher levels of computer knowledge.

It’s a new year and a new crop of vehicles are available, whether you are looking for your next purchase or want to check out the hottest new models for 2012. Listed below is a brief summary of what models are available for all the major manufacturers and for all alternative fuel types. For a full listing, visit http://www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/pdfs/my2012_afv_atv.pdf, or the manufac-turer’s websites listed under each section.
