Recent concerns for the nation's environmental resources have rekindle
d interest in clean-burning alternative fuels. Current efforts toward
environmental conservation have been directed toward trucking fleets b
ecause these fleets usually refuel at centralized locations. To assess
interest and the future adoption of alternative fuels, a mail questio
nnaire was sent to 537 trucking firms. The questionnaire was designed
to collect three types of information: perceptions of the most viable
alternative fuel; attributes or characteristics of alternative fuels t
hat would motivate a conversion decision; and expectations regarding l
egislative changes or future enforcement of current policies. (C) 1997
