More than 75 Clean Cities coalitions act locally in urban, suburban, and rural communities to help businesses and consumers meet their climate, financial, and energy goals. As the technology deployment arm of the U.S. Department of Energy's Vehicle Technologies Office, coalitions leverage expertise from federal agencies, national laboratories, and other coalitions. They bring this expertise directly to the communities they serve, developing solutions based on a unique understanding of local needs, opportunities, and markets.
