This section provides alternative fuel vehicles for the County's general fleet and maintains fueling and advanced technology infrastructures. Through the use of alternative fuel vehicles, Broward County takes a lead role in the reduction of petroleum consumption. The use of alternative fuels also promotes the market for alternative fuel, encourages new technology, and enhances the United States' self-sufficiency for its energy needs.

In addition to cost savings, energy-efficient buildings reduce the levels of greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and reduce dependency on foreign oil.
