Clean Cities A voluntary, locally-based government/industry partnership

• Established in 1993 in response to the Energy Policy Act (EPAct) of 1992

• Companion program to the EPACT mandates requiring certain fleets to acquire AFVs (Federal, State, and Fuel Provider Fleets)

• Deployment of alternative fuels and advanced vehicle technologies

• Funded and managed by DOE-HQ in Washington, DC. DOE Regional Project Management Centers (located in Pittsburgh, PA; Morgantown, VA, and Golden, CO) guide coalitions and manage projects.

Mission: To advance the energy, economic, and environmental security of the U.S. by supporting local decisions to adopt practices that contribute to the

reduction of petroleum use in the transportation sector.

3.7 Billion Gallons of Petroleum Reduction since 1993

• Over 560,000 AFVs on the road

• 10,000 alternative fueling stations (CC influenced >70% of them)

• Long term goal of 2.5B gal/year by 2020
