Consumers have several
clean air choices
when
shopping for a new or used vehicle. There are
hybrids, alternatively fueled vehicles, and "clean"
conventionally fueled vehicles to choose from.

Conventionally Fueled Vehicle Information: |

For information on the very clean conventionally fueled vehicles available look for
the Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (PZEV) or Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV)
designation on the California Air Resources Board’s
Drive
Clean Buyers Guide
or the US EPA's
Green
Vehicle Guide.
See list of the
"cleanest & meanest"
vehicles for 2007. |

Alternative Fuel &
Hybrid Vehicles |
For general information
on alternative fuels refer to the National
Alternative Fuels Hotline at (800) 423-1363 or visit
the
Alternative Fuels Data Center.

hydrogen powered vehicles visit
Energy Independence Now.
“Clean Air Vehicle” Priority Parking: If
your vehicle has the decal affixed to your
alternative fuel, hybrid or electric vehicle,
the Santa Monica Municipal Code (3.16.120)
allows you to park in any metered parking space
in the city without charge for the maximum
amount of time allowed by that meter. In other
words, if you’re at a 2-hour meter, you can park
there free for 2 hours—but beyond that, you’re
subject to ticketing for overstaying your
welcome.
Clean Air Vehicle
decals are issued by
the state. |
