The Sustainable Purchasing Leadership Council (SPLC) has recognized King County with two awards. The first was the Leadership Award for Purchasing Innovation for the County’s new Proterra battery-powered bus fleet, which provides significant cost savings and environmental benefits. The second was an Outstanding Case Study Award for the purchase of liquid petroleum gas vehicles for the county’s fleet.

SPLC is a national non-profit organization dedicated to promoting green purchasing practices within large institutions. King County’s pair of awards were presented to environmental purchasing manager Karen Hamilton in Washington D.C. at the annual SPLC conference. Congratulations to FBOD’s green purchasing team!
