Partnerships and Projects
Clean Cities' efforts span from state and local, to national collaborations. Over the years, partnerships and projects have significantly increased the availability of alternative fuels and infrastructure, thereby enabling a growing number of fleets to choose alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs). The U.S. Department of Energy's Vehicle Technologies Office funds projects that are competitively awarded and cost-shared. These coalition-supported projects often leverage additional resources from private and public sector partners to help communities lay the foundation for hundreds of alternative fuels and vehicle projects.
Local Efforts
At the local and regional level, Clean Cities coalitions build partnerships and participate in projects with stakeholders in communities across the country.
Funded Projects
The U.S. Department of Energy has funded hundreds of projects that lay the foundation for communities to adopt alternative fuels and energy-saving strategies.
Coalitions
More than 75 coalitions form the core of Clean Cities and serve as local champions in implementing alternative fuels and advanced vehicle technologies in communities across the country.
Energy and Environmental Justice
Clean Cities coalitions are helping improve equitable access to clean transportation options by engaging with their local communities to co-develop projects and solutions that meet real, on-the-ground needs.
National Efforts
At the national level, Clean Cities collaborates with federal agencies, fuel providers, industry associations, equipment manufacturers, and large companies whose vehicle fleets operate in multiple states.
National Clean Fleets Partnership
Clean Cities works with large private-sector fleets that operate in multiple states to implement transportation projects. The initiative provides fleets with resources, expertise, and technical support to evaluate incorporating domestic alternative fuels and fuel-saving technologies and strategies into their operations.
National Parks Initiative
Clean Cities partners with the National Park Service to support the use of renewable and alternative fuels, electric drive vehicles, and other advanced transportation technologies at national parks across the country. These efforts help improve air quality and promote the use of domestic energy resources.
