Section 507(o) of the Energy Policy Act requires state governments to purchase an increasing percentage of alternative fueled vehicles for their light-duty vehicle (LDV) fleets. This requirement began in model year 1996. To determine the effect of this mandate, this paper estimates the total number of state vehicles that may be 'covered' under this mandate and the number of alternative fueled LDVs that may be acquired as a result of this mandate. In addition, this paper presents operating characteristics, fuel use, turnover rate, and refueling practices of state fleet vehicles.
