Creating A Greener Energy Future For the Commonwealth
Green Communities Grant Program Criterion 4
6
• The Green Communities Act promotes cleaner energy in the municipal transportation sector.
• Criterion 4 of the Designation and Grant program calls for Green Communities to “purchase only fuel-efficient vehicles for municipal use whenever such vehicles are commercially available and practicable.”
• Saves fuel and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by municipal vehicles, which has a positive impact on the environment and saves the municipality money in the long run.
