Description
The city maintains about 600 fleet vehicles and equipment to deliver city services, such as park maintenance, snow removal and code enforcement. Since 2008, the city has worked to increase the percentage of fleet vehicles with some form of alternative fuel, including hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles (nearly 40) and electric motorcycles.
This strategy focuses on Westminster’s continued investment in vehicle electrification for the city fleet to advance sustainability goals and save money, starting with light-duty vehicles and eventually shifting to other vehicles and equipment, as they become available.
