When you're doing what's right, you get noticed. Doing the right thing isn't always easy. That's why we wanted to make sure we recognized fleets that went the extra mile to use alternative fuels and other fuel saving strategies to improve the air quality North Texans breathe.

2024 Fleet Recognition Press Release
HOW TO GET RECOGNIZED
Each fleet can earn up to 100 points, based on information reported in the annual survey and knowledge that Coalition staff have of fleet activities/initiatives. The table below summarizes the criteria our committee used to determine fleet scores.
2025 AWARD LEVELS
- Gold 45-100
- Silver 35-44
- Bronze 25-34
Shining Star Awards are given to fleets who met or exceeded quantifiable goals set for themselves in the previous year’s annual survey. Self-imposed fleet goals may include measures such as reducing fuel consumption, improving fuel economy, increasing number of alternative fuel vehicles, or increasing overall alternative fuel volume.
To be recognized, fleets must complete the annual survey and have adopted the Clean Fleet Policy. Recognized fleets receive an award, stickers for their vehicles, electronic versions of sticker graphics for the web, and a glass award (Gold only). Fleets recognized for ten years of fleet reporting receive a wooden plaque.
Congratulations to the 2025 Fleet Recognition Award winners! Photos from the NCTCOG Recognition Awards event held on February 25, 2026, are coming soon!
