At the meeting, Dan Bates of Thorn Run Partners - who will be leading the Coalition's efforts in Salem during the upcoming legislative session - provided an update on the political landscape. Colin Cochran, working on behalf of the Union of Concerned Scientists, provided an overview of the communications strategy he will be leading to promote the bill and the positive impacts of a clean vehicle rebate. Attendees also formally endorsed the Coalition's proposal, as a demonstration to legislators of support for the bill.

OR Funding for Fleet Vehicles & Infrastructure "https://gallery.mailchimp.com/0ad2b36c81b1d8ac36d2e51a7/images/8aa8dd90-c45b-457c-bafc-bb977eae29e6.jpg"The Oregon Department of Energy is encouraging fleets and businesses to "go green" through two incentive programs. The new Alternative Fuel Vehicle Fleet Projects Program will offer businesses tax credits to offset the purchase of at least two alternative fuel fleet vehicles that will replace older vehicles. This program will be open from January 5 - March 31, 2015. Visit our website to learn more. The Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Projects Program offers businesses tax credits to support the installation of clean vehicle infrastructure, including electric vehicle charging stations. This program is currently closed, but ODOE has announced it will open again in early 2015. Once open, we will post it to our Funding Opportunities page. If you are interested in pursuing either program, feel free to contact us for assistance.
