City of Evansville, IN | Climate Action Dashboard
© 2026
The City of Evansville is already starting to integrate hybrid buses and cars into our fleets. After conducting our fleet audit in 2025, ECC will be working with other departments to transition their fleets from gas to either hybrid, electric, or biodiesel. Doing this will reduce greenhouse gas emissions from City operations and show leadership for local businesses and residents. Using zero-emission vehicles also improves air quality and supports public health. To make this happen, Evansville can update its fleet procurement policies, work with private partners to add charging stations, and secure a fuel procurement contract that allows for departments to invest in biofuels. Together, these steps help the city reach its 2030 and 2050 climate goals.
Metrics
Improves air quality
Policies, practices, and programs that limit fossil fuel combustion reduce the emission of harmful air pollutants, such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxides. Adopting more sustainable actions enhances our air quality, resulting in improved health and a higher quality of life for everyone.
Reduces costs
Investing in clean, sustainable, and energy-efficient buildings, transportation, and waste management systems reduces both short-term and long-term operating expenses. Implementation of these systems will also reduce air pollution that adversely affects public health and climate stability, reducing costs associated with health care and climate-related damages.
