San Francisco: Renewable Energy Purchasing Program
http://sfwater.org/main.cfm/MC_ID/7/MSC_ID/64
In 2001, two voter propositions were approved to allow the city to sell $100 million in
revenue bonds to fund the installation of renewable energy that will supply electricity to
public property and schools. The bonds may be used for photovoltaic, solar thermal
electric, wind, and fuel cell technology, but have so far been issued only to photovoltaic
and wind projects. Eligible projects must produce electricity at a cost that does not
exceed the expected cost of electricity from existing energy sources.

www.pd.dgs.ca.gov/contracts/vehicles.htm
Assembly Bill 1660, passed in 2005, created the California Energy-Efficient Vehicle
Group Purchase Program in the Department of General Services to encourage the
purchase of energy-efficient vehicles by local and state agencies through a grouppurchasing
program. When awarding a vehicle procurement contract, every city, county,
and special district, including a school district and a community college district, may now
require that 75% of the passenger cars or light-duty trucks, or both, to be acquired be
energy-efficient vehicles. “Energy-efficient vehicle" means either of the following:
Contact:
• A vehicle that meets California's SULEV standard for exhaust emissions and
the federal ILEV evaporative emission standard;; or
• A hybrid vehicle or an AFV that meets California's ATPZEV standard for
criteria pollutant emissions.
