Clean Cities and Communities is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) partnership to advance clean transportation nationwide. More than 75 DOE-designated Clean Cities and Communities coalitions work locally in urban, suburban, and rural communities to strengthen the nation’s environment, energy security, and economic prosperity. As partners with DOE’s Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO), coalitions work to deploy affordable, efficient, and clean transportation; energy efficient mobility systems; and fuel-saving technologies and practices.

What We Do As A Clean Cities and Communities Coalition:

• Evaluate clean transportation options that meet on-the-ground needs and can reduce costs, energy consumption, and traffic congestion

• Develop strategies to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants

• Build collaborative relationships with communities, fleets, and industry partners to solve problems and identify and address technology barriers

• Shift to efficient and clean transportation energy sources by using biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, hydrogen, natural gas, propane, and renewable diesel

• Improve fuel efficiency through state
