Transportation Emissions Effects

• Vehicles account for a third of our nations air
  pollution
• Increase in asthma, premature deaths, lost
  work days attributed to poor air quality cost
  several trillion dollars per year.
• Air pollution is estimated to contribute to
  50,000-120,000 premature deaths per year.
• NRDC report found increase in cancer risks w/ old
  school buses

Energy Security Concerns

• The U.S. imports more than 50 of its crude oil
  and is expected to import more than 60 by 2010.
• U.S. Consumers pay foreign countries over two
  billion dollars a week to satisfy the demand for
  imported oil.
• Much of our oil is imported from politically
  unstable areas of the world.

How do we Curb our Growing Addiction to Imported
Oil?

• Reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled
• Increase use of Public Transit and Telecommuting
• Improve Fuel Economy
• Technology RD
• Mandates
• Incentives for Advanced Technology Vehicles
• Use Alternative Fuels
• Incentives
• Mandates

Alternative Fuels Definition Energy Policy Act of
1992

• Methanol, or Mixtures of 85 or More of Methanol
• Ethanol, or Mixtures of 85 or More of Ethanol
• Natural Gas
• Propane/LPG
• Electricity
• Hydrogen
• Coal-Derived Liquids

What are Alternative Fuel Vehicles?

• Dedicated Vehicle
• Runs only on the alternative fuel.
• Bi-fuel Vehicle
• Runs on an alternative fuel and a
• conventional fuel, 2 fuel tanks.
• Flexible Fuel Vehicle
• Runs on any combination of gasoline and
• ethanol or gasoline and methanol, 1 fuel
  tank.
• Hybrid Vehicle
• Runs on an internal combustion engine
• and an electric drive train.
• Fuel Cell Vehicle
• Hydrogen is chemically transformed into
• electricity to generate power to run the
  vehicle.

Clean Cities Objective

• The Clean Cities objective is to create local
  market places, where people can get together to
  learn whats available, whats required, how to
  purchase a vehicle, where to fuel it . . . . In
  other words, all the necessary transactions that
  need to take place for an alternative fuels
  market to develop.

A panic over the fear of gas prices increasing in
reaction to the terrorist attacks in NYC and
D.C., came to pass for a few hours at a local gas
station in Topeka, Kan., Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001.
The owner raised the prices to slow demand, but
lowered the prices a few hours later. Gas
stations around Topeka were swamped with panicked
motorists filling up their tanks.
