Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that:
1. Protection of the State’s environment, particularly the quality of its air, requires a reduction, especially in metropolitan areas, of the contaminants resulting from the combustion of conventional fuels in motor vehicles.
2. A very large proportion of these contaminants results from the burning of liquid and gaseous fuels to operate trucks and buses, many of which are operated in fleets. Each fuel can be evaluated as to the air pollution it causes when burned in motor vehicles.
3. Conversion of these fleets to use cleaner-burning alternative fuels can reduce contaminants sufficiently to permit the continued use of conventional fuels in individually owned motor vehicles.
