Drive Clean Indiana
The Drive Clean Indiana works with vehicle fleets, fuel providers, community leaders, and other stakeholders to save energy and promote the use of domestic fuels and advanced vehicle technologies in transportation.
Expanded Statewide Coverage for Indiana
Indiana is now offering statewide Clean Cities support and services through a single point of contact. The statewide program is an opportunity to leverage and combine resources and partnerships to build a stronger, better-coordinated alternative fuel and advanced transportation collaborative throughout the state. The U.S. Department of Energy designated the South Shore Clean Cities / Legacy Environmental team to represent all of Indiana as part of the national network. More information related to changes and enhancements for Clean Cities in Indiana will be coming soon.

He currently advocates for the State of Indiana on the deployment and collaboration of Electric Vehicles and Electric Vehicle Infrastructure to decarbonize Indiana’s transportation sector by shifting vehicles, fuels, and technologies that reduce transportation greenhouse gas emissions.
In 2022 Drive Clean Indiana coordinated over $30 million of Clean Transportation funding opportunities with its partners. This includes the deployment of EV charging infrastructure and EV vehicle deployment. Drive Clean Indiana in partnership with the State of Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) provides education, outreach, and marketing of the statewide electric initiative in collaboration with the Indiana Utility Group.
