 Ideas for Regional Projects
• NEPA/CEQA/SEPA language
• “Model” proactive contract language to
facilitate clean construction
– Made broadly available on resources page for
Collaborative Website
• Green Fleet Program
– Modeled on SmartWay but emphasizing
criteria pollutants

 Funding
• Federal
– Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (DOT) funds
for highway projects.
• State
– Moyer (California)
– Funding like envisioned for "Washington
Clean Construction" portfolio project
• Local
– Port funding

 Cross-sector Collaboration
• The Same Non-road engines in construction
equipment and generators also power
– Mining equipment
– Agricultural equipment
– Marine harbor craft
– Cargo handling equipment
• Technologies that work on construction
equipment may very well work on similar
engines in other sectors

Construction Workgroup

 Near-term Goals
• Work together to get two projects funded
• Develop a public/private working
committee to develop model proactive
contracting language
• Create resources page on the
Collaborative website
