The San Diego County Board of Supervisors passed a policy governing the purchase of County vehicles that will increase fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and control costs. It is the intent of this policy to establish vehicle replacement criteria, limit the use of Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) to work assignments where they are essential, and to encourage the purchase of both Alternative Fuel Vehicles (AFVs) and Hybrid technology (gasoline/electric vehicles to increase their percentage of the total County vehicle fleet. It is the goal of this policy to realize cost savings through fuel conservation and to protect the public health by lowering emissions.
