Green Transportation logo

 

Green transportation describes many types of mobility that conserve energy, increase efficiency, and use clean and renewable alternative fuels.

Washington’s legislature set ambitious goals to move our state’s public vehicle fleets away from fossil fuels—gasoline and diesel—and toward cleaner alternatives. This transition from fossil fuels is well underway. Washington consumers and fleets increasingly use alternative fuels, such as clean electricity, biofuels, and renewable fuels, to move people and goods.

The state supports this transition by offering grants and incentives to public agencies, and by funding the Green Transportation Program (GTP), which provides education and technical assistance to help public fleets make the switch to vehicles that use cleaner fuels.

How Can We Help?

We’re here to help, whether you are just starting or have some experience. The GTP has a team of specialized green fleet advisors ready to assist as your organization makes the switch to clean fuels

Let's Talk


What's New

Washington’s Zero-emission Incentive Program (WAZIP) will offer financial incentives to private fleet operators who replace fossil-fueled vehicles with medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles. The GTP will support this effort by offering technical assistance to help fleet managers pursue this opportunity. Final details will be available in late 2025.

Working with Tribal partners

The GTP team is working with Tribal partners and the U.S. Dept. of Energy to accelerate the adoption of zero-emission vehicles in Tribal communities in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. Learn more about the Tribal Green Transportation Project.
