RESOLUTION NO. 2002-334
RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SAN BERNARDINO APPROVING THE ADOPTION OF A PROPOSAL BY THE
AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION TO CREATE A CLEAN VEHICLE POLICY.
WHEREAS, more than 2/3 of Southern California's air pollution comes from
mobile sources, such as cars, trucks, and buses and conventional gasoline-powered
cars, even the newest cleanest cars, degrade with use and become serious sources of
pollution; and
WHEREAS, "Upstream emissions'" from gasoline, including those from
refineries, and from diesel trucks delivering the fuel, and from evaporating and spilled
fuel are significant contributors to unhealthy air; and
WHEREAS, A wide variety of low emission vehicles in many applications are
now available from a variety of manufactures in ultra-low (ULEV), super-ultra-Iow-
emission (SULEV), and zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV). Some of these vehicles are
gasoline-powered, some natural gas-powered, some hybrid electrics, and some are
battery-powered electrics; and
WHEREAS, Reducing air pollution is a shared responsibility, requiring the
cooperation and participation of all communities and their community members; and
WHEREAS, cities are significant users of vehicles and equipment that cause air
pollution and regularly purchase new vehicles and equipment to meet the needs of
their community members; and
WHEREAS, Cities can and should lead by example so residents and
businesses will also willingly participate in clean air programs; and

AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION TO CREATE A CLEAN VEHICLE POLICY.
WHEREAS, Significant incentive funding is now available through local Air
Districts and the California Air Resources Board for cities to acquire ULEVs, SULEVs,
and ZEVs and these monies will make the cost of acquiring ULEVs, SULEVs, and
ZEVs comparable to purchasing conventional vehicles; and

in their fleets on a day-to-day basis and their experience has been uniformly positive;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COMMON
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the City of San Bernardino shall, as a matter of continuing
policy, give preference to the acquisition of zero and low emission vehicles for each
