More energy is consumed in transportation than in any other sector of Florida's economy.
The Florida Energy Office attempts to initiate programs that preserve the freedom of mobility through the use of alternative fuels and environmentally sound and energy efficient modes of transportation. In response to the National Energy Strategy, selected State and local government fleet vehicles are being converted to run on alternative fuels. In additions, these entities will be funded to purchase original equipment manufactured, alternatively fueled vehicles. Selected entities will evaluate the reliability and performance of the alternatively fueled vehicles. The program encourages the development and commercialization of new fuels and technologies for transportation.
