Summary

The Administrator of General Services must run a yearly awards program to honor federal employees who push for alternative fuels and save fuel in federal vehicles. Awards go to people who support the federal alternative-fueled vehicle program (for example, promoting use, keeping vehicles cared for, working with other governments, making new commercial fueling or maintenance deals, requesting alternative vehicles, and keeping many such vehicles in use) or who promote fuel efficiency (for example, fuel‑efficient cars, carpooling, ride‑sharing, regular maintenance, and other conservation steps). Up to $35,000 was authorized for fiscal year 1994 to run the program, and whatever money is needed was authorized for fiscal years 1995 and 1996.
