Beginning in 2006, businesses and taxpayers who lease, or purchase, an



environmentally-friendly and fuel-efficient vehicle will be eligible to

claim federal income tax credits worth thousands of dollars. Individual

states also offer generous incentives, including hybrid state tax credits,

new High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes access and discounted thruway tolls

for alternative-fuelled vehicles.

And that's not all you can save from going green! You can now save on your

parking fees at a number of universities and some auto-insurance companies

are offering insurance discounts for hybrid-vehicle owners nationwide.

If you want to take advantage of these incentives and contribute to energy

conservation then visit HybridCenter.org and complete a personal profile

about your driving needs and habits. You will get in-depth advice on hybrid

models that would make economic sense to you and local, state and federal

incentives available where you live.
