Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
All local governments are required to transition all vehicles
				to electricity or biofuels to the extent practicable. The provisions of this
				chapter apply statewide. Pursuant to
				RCW
				   43.19.648(2):
(1)Revenue fleets with a majority of active
			 vehicles, not including transit vans, using compressed natural gas on June 1,
			 2018 are exempt from these rules. Transit vans and non-revenue fleet vehicles
			 remain subject to these rules.
(2)These rules do not require engine
			 retrofits that would void warranties, or replacement of vehicles before the end
			 of their useful lives.
(3)If a
			 local government believes it is not practicable to use electricity or biofuels
			 to fuel police, fire or other emergency response vehicles, including utility
			 vehicles frequently used for emergency response, it is encouraged to consider
			 alternate fuels and vehicle technologies, such as natural gas or propane, to
			 displace gasoline and diesel fuel use. Local governments that opt to exempt
			 emergency response vehicles from these rules must notify the department as part
			 of their annual reporting under WAC 194-29-080.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
For purposes of assessing compliance with these rules, each
				local government using 200,000 or more gallons of gasoline and/or diesel to
				fuel vehicles on an annual basis is required to report as described in WAC
				194-29-080. The department will collect data from a variety of sources to
				ensure local governments meeting this threshold are fulfilling the reporting
				requirement. To determine which transit agencies meet the reporting threshold,
				the department will use the most recent data from the National Transit
				Database, as published by the Washington State Department of
				Transportation.
Any local government with fuel use that initially meets the
				reporting threshold but subsequently drops below the threshold is encouraged to
				continue filing reports.
Given the findings of the underlying legislation and associated
				policies guiding public sector use of alternative fuels and vehicles, the
				department intends to continue to monitor local government compliance beyond
				June 1, 2018.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
RCW
				   43.325.080 requires the department to specify
				how local government efforts to meet the goals set forth in
				RCW
				   43.19.648(2) will be
				evaluated. While local governments are responsible for determining the most
				effective means of displacing their gasoline and diesel consumption through
				vehicle electrification and biofuel use, procurement decisions should be guided
				primarily through a comparison of alternatives on a lifecycle cost basis. The
				department will provide an analytical tool to assist local governments in their
				assessment of life-cycle costs. Local governments may use alternate means of
				determining lifecycle costs so long as all the variables included in the
				department's analytical tool are taken into consideration.
Local governments must consider the following criteria in
				determining whether they have, to the extent practicable, satisfied one hundred
				percent of fuel usage for operating vehicles, vessels and construction
				equipment from electricity or biofuel, effective June 1, 2018:
(1) Vehicles.
(a)It is considered practicable to procure an
			 electric or hybrid electric vehicle when the following criteria are met: a
			 vehicle is available that meets operational needs, charging requirements can be
			 met during routine use or through fleet management strategies, and the
			 lifecycle cost is equal to or less than the lifecycle cost of the vehicle the
			 local government would otherwise procure.
(b)If the criteria in (a) cannot be met, it
			 is considered practicable to procure or convert a vehicle to be fueled in whole
			 or in part by natural gas or propane when the lifecycle cost is equal to or
			 less than the lifecycle cost of the vehicle the local government would
			 otherwise procure.
(c)When making
			 procurement decisions involving vehicles with diesel engines, it is considered
			 practicable for local governments to select vehicles with engine warranties
			 that provide for the highest level of biodiesel use.
(d)When making procurement decisions
			 involving vehicles with gasoline engines, local governments are encouraged to
			 lease vehicles in order to take advantage of new alternative fuel and vehicle
			 technologies in a timely manner.
