AQMRC win ECO-Stars Evaluation Contract
AQMRC have been awarded a contract to undertake the evaluation of South Yorkshire’s Eco-Stars (Efficient and Cleaner Operations) Fleet Recognition Scheme
The scheme was set up by the South Yorkshire Local Transport Plan partners supported by Travel South Yorkshire and NHS Barnsley. The scheme was formally launched on 20th January 2009 with the aim of improving air quality.
The ECO Stars Fleet Recognition Scheme is a free, voluntary scheme designed to provide recognition, guidance and advice to operators of goods vehicles, buses and coaches across South Yorkshire. ECO Stars rates individual vehicles and the fleet’s overall road transport operation using star rating criteria, to recognise levels of operational and environmental performance. Each member signing up to the scheme receives a tailor-made ‘Road Map’ specific for their organisation, detailing suggested actions to help improve their environmental performance.
By the end of 2010, members of the ECO Stars Scheme were operating about 5,000 vehicles in and around South Yorkshire.
