U.S. Department of Energy expanding National Clean Cities Program

The Clean Cities Program has been thriving for more than ten years with the primary focus on promoting the use of alternative fuels.  The draft of the new Clean Cities Roadmap (pdf) explains the Department new portfolios, including promoting fuel economy, hybrids vehicles, fuel blends, public awareness strategies, idle reduction strategies and other clean air initiatives. These additional strategies offer more flexibility for coalitions to use to meet their long-standing goals of reducing America's dependency on foreign oil and improving air quality.

Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the mission of the Clean Cities Program is to advance the economic, environmental, and energy security of the United States by supporting local decisions to adopt practices that contribute to reduced petroleum consumption in the transportation sector.

Clean Cities carries out this mission through a network of more than 80 volunteer, community-based coalitions, which develop public/private partnerships to promote the use of alternative fuels and vehicles, expand the use of fuel blends, encourage the use of fuel economy practices, increase the acquisition of hybrid vehicles by fleets and consumers, and advance the use of idle reduction technologies in heavy-duty vehicles.
