2023 Clean Cities Stakeholder Summit

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) hosted the 2023 Clean Cities Stakeholder Summit, an assembly of the entire Clean Cities Coalition Network, including coalition leaders and stakeholders, DOE representatives, and national laboratory staff. The summit provided an opportunity to collaborate, be recognized for your commitment to Clean Cities, and capitalize on the collective expertise of the Clean Cities network.

Jeff Marootian, Senior Advisor for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Office of the Secretary; Michael Berube, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Sustainable Transportation; and Austin Brown, new Director of DOE’s Vehicle Technologies Office spoke about DOE’s sustainable transportation efforts and how Clean Cities helps accomplish them.

The 2023 summit also celebrated the 30th anniversary of Clean Cities. The network has built bipartisan support, deep connections within the transportation industry, and active partnerships with 20,000 public and private stakeholders. Starting in 1993 with six coalitions in Atlanta, Denver, Philadelphia, Delaware, Las Vegas, and Washington, D.C., the national network now includes more than 75 active coalitions, covering more than 85% of the U.S. population and nearly every state. Over the past 30 years, coalition activities have:

• Saved the equivalent of 13 billion gallons of gasoline
• Eliminated more than 67 million tons of emissions through projects using alternative fuels, and fuel-efficient technologies and strategies.

Thriving on a culture of collaborative change, Clean Cities coalitions are harnessing decades of deployment expertise to continue moving our transportation systems into the future. Watch the Clean Cities 30th Anniversary video on YouTube.
