Green Fleet Program
IS YOUR COMMUNITY LOOKING TO GO GREEN?

We are looking for six governmental fleets in Lake(2), Porter(2), and LaPorte(2) to participate in our Green Fleet Program! South Shore Clean Cities and the Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission (NIRPC) want to help your community mitigate barriers to adopting alternative fuels and advanced technology vehicles, and create policies that support petroleum and vehicle emission reductions. 

 

Apply today to participate in this program! We will be accepting applications until Friday, May 30, 2014.

 Natural Gas Roundtable

The goal of this event is to provide a neutral resource for businesses and 

consumers to learn of current and planned fueling stations, state and 

federal incentives, natural vehicles, and more.
