policies regarding alternative fuel or low to zero emission public fleet vehicles should be discussed with the Tahoe Transportation District, TART and the BlueGo Board. These entities are the ones making decisions about the type of vehicles being purchased for Tahoe’s public transit systems. There are technologies which exist and operate successfully in the Tahoe environment; there are those that don’t operate in this environment; finally, there are those which are simply a “pipe dream.” Those preparing the Regional Plan Update need to understand the realities of what works at Lake Tahoe. Note: These comments also relate to the second bullet item on page 18.
