Over the last 15 years, Rocky Mountain Power has been a key player in furthering Utah Clean Cities Coalition’s (UCCC) goals of reducing petroleum use in the state. Most recently, the company implemented an idle time monitoring program which involves installing GPS tracking devices in program fleet vehicles.

These tracking systems have made a significant difference in saving money and reducing emissions.

This year, Rocky Mountain Power has saved over $450,000 in fuel cost and cut engine idle time by more than 60%. Drivers have also made fewer trips and improved fuel economy, which has reduced the amount of combined diesel and unleaded fuel burned by 122,833 gallons (1,259 reduced tons of greenhouse gases emitted).
