NYPD Blue And NYFD Red Go Green

Mayor Bloomberg’s initiative to new make city vehicles more eco-friendly is driving forward. Twenty hybrid SUVs will be hitting the streets. Four all-electric Vectrix scooters are being tested as well as a three-wheeled transporter. Whatever proven cost-cutting measures New York City can employ makes sense. The city paid $103.7 million for gasoline in fiscal 2008. With gas around $4.50 per gallon, every drop in the gas bucket helps.
