Clean Cities Strategic Planning 2015 Meeting

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) hosted a public meeting on Feb. 25, 2015, to collect input for a new Clean Cities program five-year strategic plan. The purpose of the meeting was to solicit input from a broad range of program stakeholders in industry and local, state, and federal government on how best to advance deployment of alternative fuels, advanced vehicles, and other technologies in the Clean Cities portfolio.

The meeting covered Clean Cities focus areas, such as alternative fuels and vehicles, idle reduction technologies, and fuel economy measures. National laboratory experts also led discussions about the current state of natural gas, biofuels, propane, plug-in electric vehicles, fuel economy measures, and consumer and fleet idle reduction.
