Executive Order 13149: Greening the Government Through Federal Fleet and Transportation Efficiency
President: Bill Clinton
Set federal fleet petroleum and fuel-economy goals for fiscal 2005; EO 13423 revoked it in 2007.
Status: Revoked — by EO 13423 in 2007.
Is Executive Order 13149 still in effect? No. EO 13423 revoked it in 2007.
What does Executive Order 13149 do?
EO 13149 applied to agencies with at least 20 U.S. motor vehicles. It set a 20 percent petroleum-use reduction goal by the end of fiscal 2005 against fiscal 1999 and a three-miles-per-gallon improvement goal for newly acquired cars and light trucks. Agencies could use alternative fuels, efficient vehicles, trip reduction or fleet-size changes. It also revoked EO 13031. EO 13423 revoked EO 13149 in 2007. EO 14057 later revoked by EO 14154 in 2025, but that sequence does not revive EO 13149; separate statutory fleet duties must be assessed on their own terms.
Later evidence reviewed October 2, 2026: EO 13423 revoked EO 13149. EO 14154’s 2025 revocation of EO 14057 did not revive this earlier order.

Legal and source detail
How it works legally
EO 13149 was a federal-agency management directive with historical targets, not a private-vehicle rule. Its revocation by EO 13423 ended the order; later changes to other federal environmental directives did not revive it. Current fleet obligations may arise independently under statutes and later rules.
