Summary

The Administrator of General Services must create a yearly awards program to honor federal employees who work hardest to use alternative-fueled vehicles and save fuel in federal cars and trucks. Awards cover things like promoting alternative-fueled vehicle use, keeping those vehicles well maintained, working with other governments, making new business arrangements for buying or refueling them, asking for more alternative vehicles, keeping a high share of such vehicles, and encouraging fuel-saving actions like fuel-efficient cars, carpooling, ridesharing, and regular maintenance. No more than $35,000 is authorized for fiscal year 1994, and whatever sums are needed are authorized for each of fiscal years 1995 and 1996.
