According to a review of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency data, 79% of the cancer risk from airborne sources comes from diesel exhaust. The Ohio Green Fleets program is designed to significantly reduce the emission and fuel use of business and government vehicle fleets. Launched in 2008, this program is composed of three core components: helping fleet managers develop Green Fleet policies tailored to their specific needs, hands on assistance in implementing the policies and the development of a statewide rating system to recognize fleets that have made measurable environmental progress. Ohio Green Fleets is presented in partnership with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, Ohio Energy Office, Earth Day Coalition, US EPA SmartWay program and several local and regional organizations.

Funding for Ohio Green Fleets has been provided by the Ohio Air Quality Development Authority and the Ohio Environmental Education Fund, in addition to over 20 program sponsors from the private and public sector.
