September 6, Comment period September 6, - October 6, 30 days. Proposal details. The three main outcomes envisioned for the program are: Wider adoption of vehicles and technologies that have lower levels of GHG emissions; An industry shift to incorporating lower emission vehicles into commercial fleets; and A market evolution towards offering more and lower priced alternative fuel vehicles and fuel efficient technologies.
Other information Climate Change Action Plan Public consultation This proposal was posted for a 30 day public review and comment period starting September 06, Please Note: All comments and submissions received have become part of the public record. Program design discussion questions Please comment on the selection of alternative fuel vehicles, and fuel saving devices that have been identified as eligible for funding.
Will the incentive values proposed support and promote adoption? How appropriate are the percentages and funding caps proposed for the incremental costs for each supported vehicle fuel type or fuel saving device? Are there any potential barriers to successful uptake of the program as designed?
Application and funding process discussion questions Are the eligibility requirements realistic and achievable? Are there any issues with this approach? Is there another funding mechanism that you think would be better suited to fund vehicles and devices? Are there any approaches that could be used to streamline or simplify the process of determining eligibility and incentive amounts for specific models of vehicles? Data collection discussion questions Participation in a data collection program is a mandatory requirement for funding and a sample of applicants may be required to install telematics devices.
Where fleet vehicles already have telematics devices on board, could this electronic data be shared, both for baseline and funded vehicles, in order to facilitate documentation of GHG reductions? Are there any considerations or concerns regarding data privacy? Should other types of data be collected in the context of GHG emission reductions? Innovation pilot discussion questions What type of pilot projects could be funded under this category? What are some future trends that you believe will have an impact on the commercial transportation sector?

The Town of Oakville supports the development of a Green Vehicle Commercial Program that would provide financial incentives and rebates for the purchase of commercial fleet green technology.
The Town also commends the Ontario Ministry of Transportation on identifying the opportunity to reduce provincial greenhouse gas emissions through the application of green technology in commercial fleets.
The Town of Oakville recognizes the operating costs savings and greenhouse gas reductions achieved through green fleet practices including, but not limited to, right sizing vehicles, driver training, anti-idling enforcement, devices that improve efficiency and alternative fuel sources. The proposed Green Vehicle Commercial Program provides additional incentive and supports the business case to utilizing proven technologies to reduce the impacts of commercial fleet operations.
Open access to Program guide and application can promote better uptake of the Program and facilitate easier collaboration between multiple departments that would come together to submit an application. Where practicable and viable the Town of Oakville works with OEMs to embed and utilize engine features that improve performance efficiency of fleet vehicles, such as anti-idling monitoring equipment.
The Town further supports the use and popularization of these systems to a wider, commercial base. The Town would welcome future complimentary Programs that provide the same level of financial incentive for other classes and uses of vehicles, including passenger transport. The Town commends the Ministry of Energy for providing a significant financial incentive opportunity for the uptake of alternative fuel technology.
Anti-idling devices and alternative fuel vehicles significantly reduce the overall life-cycle greenhouse gas emission of fleet vehicles. Further investigation is needed to determine compatibility of performance requirements and alternative fuel vehicles listed in Section 3.
