486A.010 - Legislative findings.
486A.010 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that:
1. The State’s environment, particularly the quality of its air, may be improved, especially in metropolitan areas, through the use of alternative fuels and clean vehicles.
2. A very large proportion of air contaminants result from the burning of liquid and gaseous fuels to operate trucks and buses, many of which are operated in fleets. Each fuel can be evaluated as to the air pollution it causes when burned in motor vehicles, and particular models of motor vehicles can be evaluated to assess the amount of contaminants those motor vehicles emit.
3. Fleets operated by state agencies and local governing bodies can reduce air contaminants through the use of cleaner-burning alternative fuels and the acquisition of clean motor vehicles.
