AAA Greenlight Initiative

Triple A auto insurance is promoting green transportation through it's new Greenlight Initiative program which provides information on alternative fuels and sustainable transportation. You can see a list of upcoming events in your area related to electric vehicles and hybrids by visiting the website www.aaa.com/greenlight and entering your zip code. Currently the Northern California AAA Greenlight events page is promoting the upcoming San Francisco International Auto show and Triple A is offering a 2 for 1 discount to its members.

We found out about the AAA Greenlight Initiative a week ago when we saw a Toyota Prius (not quite an EV) driving around town with a sticker on the side. When we followed up with Triple A we found out that they had been offering grants earlier this year (up to $50K) which were given to several educational, non-profit and government groups for alternative fuel vehicle projects. CalCars.org received $10K from the AAA Greenlight Project last year to develop PHEV prototypes and share them with the public.
