Aspen's Fleet

The City of Aspen fleet is made up of passenger cars, SUVs, pick-up trucks, utility vehicles, and heavy-duty equipment and machinery.  

According to the City of Aspen’s Municipal GHG inventory, in 2023, fleet fuel accounted for 21% of city emissions (excluding employee commuting).

As these emissions are directly within the city’s span of control, electric and zero-emission vehicles and equipment represent one of the most direct opportunities to reduce emissions at the city and help set a strong precedent for the rest of the community to follow.   

In 2022, Aspen signed on to become a GoEV City, which is a commitment to transition its fleet to 100% electric and zero-emission alternatives by 2050.  

The Fleet Zero Emissions Roadmap (PDF) outlines the steps necessary to replace gas-powered vehicles with zero-emission vehicles and equipment.
