8. Purpose and Scope • To assemble and coordinate resources throughout Wisconsin that will promote the use of and help establish an infrastructure for natural gas vehicles. • Serve as a resource for the industry to provide information on grants, vehicles, etc. • Promote legislation at the federal, state and local levels that supports CNG implementation.

9. Strategic Vision • Collaborate to establish a reliable and fully functional natural gas vehicles infrastructure between major cities and along the major highways of the state. Then, use that platform to grow and expand further. • Focus on fleet conversions and/or purchase of natural gas vehicles where appropriate to develop the infrastructure. • Promote CNG as an alternative fuel for public use.
