Announced at the CALSTART 2020 conference today in Los Angeles, the California Secure Transportation Energy Partnership (CalSTEP) pledged to develop a plan to lead to a sustainable reduction in the state’s overall on-road petroleum fuel consumption of at least 15% below 2003 levels by 2020 while increasing the proportion of alternative transportation fuels to at least 20% of total on-road fuel demand.The Partnership is founded on the concept that by becoming a model state for transportation energy consumption by 2020, California can become more secure and prosperous. The CalSTEP effort is the first major initiative focused on a single state developing its own transportation energy security action plan. |
