100% clean energy for Louisville Metro Government operations by 2035
The 2035 goal of 100% clean energy for Louisville Metro Government operations includes not just our electricity but all sources of energy, such as our building heating and cooling systems. A critical part of this goal is electrifying our municipal vehicle fleet.
On May 6, 2021, Mayor Fischer signed Executive Order 2021-005 which states that Louisville Metro Government agencies and departments shall prioritize the purchasing of electric and hybrid vehicles, green equipment and necessary infrastructure to support Louisville Metro’s transition to electric vehicles.
Green Fleet Challenge
Electric vehicles (EVs) result in substantial fuel reductions and improve air quality. As Louisville Metro transitions to a 100% EV fleet, we invite local businesses, companies, and nonprofit organizations to join us in our efforts through the Green Fleet Challenge. To participate, we ask that businesses and organizations:
Commit to investing in battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) to match Louisville Metro Government fleet’s at least one-to-one. (Arrangements can be made on a case-by-case basis for an equitable ratio with smaller organizations and businesses.)
Participate in outreach and engagement activities that promote the use of EVs.
Provide information about the business’ overall vision to invest in a sustainable future.
In joining the Green Fleet Challenge, your business or organization will:
Help the Louisville community transition to clean vehicles.
Improve awareness of the availability of EVs and charging infrastructure.
Receive recognition for your efforts in city-wide announcements, social media, and events.
Improve air quality and health for all Louisville residents!
