  • City of Vacaville Garners Press on Incentives

    Once again, we have received quite a bit of favorable press coverage of late with our unique and innovative Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) Incentive Program during this very busy time with the high gasoline prices, and this next one appeared on the Cristian Broadcasting Network (CBN) on August 21, 2008 as the result of an interview on June 19, 2008 at our home.
    The Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) interviewed the Transportation Systems Manager at length at his home on June 19 concerning the City's CNG Vehicle Incentive Program, and especially the Honda Civic GX and the Phill Home Refueling Appliance. The video clip aired on Thursday, August 21, as part of an overall story on alternative fuels on CBN on the "700 Club" with Pat Robertson which can be found on the ABC Family channel throughout the day. Here is the link to the story that has the five minute video clip:

    To date, we have now provided 116 purchase buy down incentives on new dedicated compressed natural gas vehicles. All the incentives, except for one, have been for the Honda Civic GX. Several more residents are on a lengthy waiting list looking forward to the arrival at the dealership of the 2009 model year Civic GX.
    I am sending this out to our electric vehicle owners and compressed natural gas vehicle owners through our AFV Incentive Program, and those who have expressed interest in our incentive program, along with an updated industry contact list. Sorry in advance for any duplicate receipts.
    Have a great day!

    Re: City of Vacaville Garners Press on Incentives

    Once again, we have received quite a bit of favorable press coverage of late with our unique and innovative Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) Incentive Program during this very busy time with the high gasoline prices, and this next one aired on KUSP's "Life in the Fast Lane" with Kelly O'Brien on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 as the result of an interview on the previous Friday, September 12.
    Again, the success of the Electric Vehicle Incentive Program, and now most recently with the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Vehicle Incentive Program, that have now both been incorporated into our AFV Incentive Program, could not have been achieved without the upper-level management support here at the City, our very supportive Mayor and City Council, the Solano Transportation Authority (STA), the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), the California Air Resources Board (CARB), Caltrans, the Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District (Y-SAQMD), the automanufacturers and their respective dealerships, the media (print, radio, and television), and of course all of the residents who have purchased (or leased) these electric and dedicated CNG vehicles with our purchase buy-down incentives. This has truly been a team effort!
    This aired last week (September 17, 2008) and the extended version (15 minutes) is at the
    iTunes Store. Just search on "KUSP's Life in the Fast Lane" or go to
