Editor's Note: This article was originally published April 9, 2021.

The City of Arlington was recently awarded the 2021 Bronze Fleet Award from the Dallas-Fort Worth Clean Cities Coalition in recognition of its contributions to reduce transportation energy impacts and improve air quality. The City was also awarded the Bronze Fleet Award in 2020.

Awards were presented based on entities’ scores on the DFW Clean Cities Annual Survey. Each entity could earn up to 45 points for emissions reduction, 25 points for reducing fuel consumption, 20 points for partnerships, and 10 points for outreach and awareness efforts. Gold Level status required 59-100 points; Silver Level status required 48-58; and Bronze Level status required 40-47. 

This year’s winners were instrumental in helping the region reduce:

  • 26,029,278 gallons of gasoline equivalent
  • 840,208 pounds of ozone-forming nitrogen oxides (NOx)
  • 72,094 tons of greenhouse gas emissions

The Clean Cities initiative is a locally based, public-private partnership that promotes practices and decisions to reduce petroleum consumption and improve air quality in the transportation sector. Clean Cities has a goal of increasing petroleum reduction by 15% a year. The annual survey helps track that progress. For more information, visit www.dfwcleancities.org.
