State Programs to Support Advances in Transportation Fuels and Vehicles

NEW! Forwarding Wisconsin's Fuel Choice Forwarding WI’s Fuel Choice Program

• Goal to expand alternative fuels by - Expanding accessibility to alternative fuels off highways; - offer training for first responders, public safety officers,

and permitting officials; - Would with fuel retailers to understand and address

barriers, and - assist public fleets in developing and implementing

petroleum reduction strategies and policies.

Transportation Roundtables

• Stakeholder initiatives created by the State Energy Office, WI Clean Cities and an advisory group of businesses from across the state to provide information and identify opportunities to expand the use of alternative transportation fuels.

Continued Growth in WI Future Opportunities

• Ongoing partnerships: - Creates a knowledge base, - Wider acceptance of advanced vehicle technologies

fuels, and - Secure funding

• Creative Address availability and limitations of technology – both infrastructure and vehicles

• Sound public policy to support development efforts

• SEO will continue to develop programs to support alternative fuels efforts
