City of Ottawa’s Environmentally-Friendly Fleet Wins Award

Fleet Challenge Ontario, a not-for-profit program supported by the Ontario Government, has awarded the City of Ottawa with its top award for its environmentally-friendly fleet.  

The City of Ottawa remains committed to its environmentally-friendly approach to operating and acquiring its fleet of vehicles. Mayor Jim Watson highlighted that Ottawa’s green vehicles and practices are implemented in order to make Ottawa a healthier and more environmentally-sustainable community.  

The 2012 Green Fleet Leadership Award was awarded to Ottawa’s Municipal Green Fleet Plan, recognizing the achievements and efforts put forth by Ontario’s public and private sector fleet managers. These include making their fleets environmentally responsible and/or having reduced fuel consumption, harmful gas emissions and smog causing air contaminants within the previous one-year period.

The Municipal Green Fleet Plan has been in place since 2009 and has involved many initiatives such as increasing the use of hybrid vehicles, purchasing electric vehicles where appropriate, and reinstituting ethanol blended gasoline at City-owned fueling stations, among others.
