Green Fleets of the Bluegrass Program Launched

Green Fleets of the Bluegrass is a recognition program hosted by KCFC, to improve the environmental performance of vehicle fleets across Kentucky by reducing petroleum fuel use.

Improving fleets show progress in four of the seven criteria—vehicles, fuel, maintenance, operation, partnerships, strategy, and transparency. Achieving fleets show progress in all seven criteria, and Leading fleets show continuous improvement in all seven areas.

KCFC members that submit baseline data by June 30th, 2011 will receive recommendations for initiatives to potentially improve year-end ratings
