This report, which is submitted to the Mayor, the Comptroller, and the City Council in accordance with LL38/2005, discusses the testing, analyses, and assessments of DSNY's alterative fuel sanitation collection vehicles and street sweepers, and the feasibility of incorporating new alternative fuel sanitation vehicles and technology into DSNY's fleet. It also reviews the results of DSNY's pilot program that used alternative fuel street sweeping vehicles in four sanitation districts, with one district in an area with high rates of asthma among residents.
