The Clean Communities of Central New York (Syracuse) works with vehicle fleets, fuel providers, community leaders, and other stakeholders to save energy and promote the use of domestic fuels and advanced vehicle technologies in transportation.

1. New York Truck Voucher Incentive Program: Offers incentives to encourage the acquisition of electric trucks and buses by reducing the incremental cost of purchasing zero-emission medium and heavy-duty vehicles, such as delivery and garbage trucks, and transit buses.
2. Zero Emission Vehicle Grants: Provides $5.75 million for municipalities in New York to purchase or lease zero-emission vehicles and to install public EV charging stations, aiming to support the transition to a cleaner fleet.
3. Drive Clean Rebate: A New York initiative offering up to $2,000 rebate at the point of sale for electric vehicles, which can be combined with federal tax credits, available throughout all New York counties.
4. New York School Bus Incentive Program: Offers point-of-sale vouchers to help cover the incremental cost of purchasing or repowering zero-emission school buses, including associated infrastructure costs, with additional support for underserved communities.
5. Fleet Electrification Assessment Services: Provided by various utility companies like NYSEG and National Grid, these services offer analysis of fleet electrification opportunities to commercial, private, or public fleets in New York, helping operators transition to cleaner vehicles.
6. Advanced Clean Trucks Rule: Mandates an increasing percentage of zero-emission truck sales starting in 2025, as part of New York's efforts to reduce emissions from medium and heavy-duty vehicles and improve air quality in communities impacted by transportation emissions.

These resources provide significant support for fleet operators in New York looking to transition to low and zero emission vehicles, aligning with both environmental goals and operational efficiency enhancements.
