Fostering alternative transportation options has multiple benefits such as lowering emissions, cutting fuel expenditures, extending vehicle life, reducing reliance on foreign oil, and creating U.S. jobs by alternative fleet manufacturing. It aids in creating healthy walkable cities. 

​

Reductions in traditional fuel use reflect multiple strategies such as use of more alternative fuels, increased fuel efficiency of fleet vehicles, and reduction of miles traveled. DOE has numerous grants for electric vehicle infrastructure.
