Clean Cities Vehicle Programs

This ICR involves the approved collection that collects three streams of information. The three streams of information will enable DOE to ensure the impact and progress of DOE’s voluntary Clean Cities Vehicle Programs, specifically, a Ride and Drive survey program for PEV showcases, the PEV Scorecard, and the National Clean Fleets Partnership. The Ride and Drive Surveys for PEV Showcases are a three-part voluntary ride-and-drive survey to assist Clean Cities coalitions and stakeholders in assessing the level of interest, understanding, and acceptance of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) and alternative fuel vehicles (AFV) by the purchasing public. The principal objective of the Surveys is to provide DOE and stakeholders with an objective assessment and estimate of how ready the purchasing public is for PEVs, and to help DOE’s Clean Cities coalitions prepare for the successful deployment of these vehicles. DOE intends the surveys to be completed by individuals who are participating in one of many ride-and-drive events. The second stream of information is the PEV Scorecard, which allows DOE Clean Cities Coalitions and Stakeholders to assess the level of readiness of their communities for PEVs for residential and fleet customers. Information collected is critical for DOE to provide respondents an objective assessment of community readiness for PEV adoption, understanding successful PEV deployment, and assuring appropriate evaluation of PEV deployment progress. The third stream of information involves the National Clean Fleets Partnership, which is an initiative through DOE that establishes strategic alliances with large private-sector fleets, providing them technical assistance and expertise to explore and adopt alternative fuels and fuel saving measures into their operations successfully. The initiative builds on the established success of DOE’s Clean Cities program. Information collected is critical for DOE to develop an objective assessment and estimate of each fleet’s impact and progress. Information is used to establish a baseline of activities, inventories, and fuel use for each fleet, which is then used for future comparisons and analyses of instituted programs and policies. These activities are authorized under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 13252(a)-(b); 42 U.S.C. 13255; 42 U.S.C. 7256.
