Clean Cities advances the energy, economic, and environmental security of the United States by supporting local actions to reduce petroleum use in transportation.

Strong, Established, Staying Power

20 Years in 2013

Clean Cities – 20 Years of Deployment

cleancities.energy.gov

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

• Established in 1993 in response to the Energy Policy Act 1992

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

• Long Term Goal: By 2020, 2.5B gal/yr (GGE) of petroleum reduction with alt-fuels and other VT-Deploy initiatives.

Mission: Develop partnerships & support local decisions to adopt vehicle technologies and practices that contribute to

petroleum reduction in the transportation sector. Accelerate widespread usage of advanced technologies.

Clean Cities(leveraging people & resources)

Goals: By 2020, Facilitate 2.5B gal/yr (GGE) of

petroleum reduction with alt-fuels and other VT-Deploy initiatives.

Facilitate electric drive vehicle & infrastructure deployment that supports the “1M EVs by 2015” Presidential goal.

Remove barriers and accelerate deployment of alt-fuel vehicles in support of the President’s “All of the Above” transportation energy strategy.

~100 coalitions serving 78% of the U.S. population

National Priorities & Clean Cities

US DOE Clean Cities Primary Goal and Results

PRIMARY GOAL:Mass market adoption of alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles and smarter driving habits

Reduced Petroleum Use in Transportation

Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Reduced Dependence on Foreign Oil

Improved US Energy, Economic, and Environmental Security

PRIMARY GOAL RESULTS

cleancities.energy.gov

Implement national policies and initiatives by facilitating change on a National and Local basis

Local Coalition Support/Partnership DevelopmentDevelop a Franchise model (designate CC coalitions) so that approach and message are consistent everywhere, but with attention to local market conditions and priorities (provide strategic direction and comprehensive training to franchisees)

National

Local coalition support/partnership development with industry National source of objective information, outreach and educationTechnical tools and experts to address barriers and solve problemsCompetitively awarded financial assistance to jump start markets and incentivize private investment.

Clean Cities Parallel Approach

eere.energy.gov8 | Vehicle Technologies Program

Local Community/Coalition Support and Partnership Development: DOE helps convene key community and business leaders to develop and implement projects, leverage resources, and address local barriers

Public Information, Outreach, and Education: DOE-developed tools help consumers save money on fuel cost and help fleets understand their options for cost-effective alternatives to gasoline and diesel fuel

Technical & Problem Solving Assistance: DOE experts help local leaders address permitting and safety issues, technology shortfalls, and other project implementation barriers

Competitively-Awarded Financial Assistance: Federal cost-share encourages initial private sector match and long-term investment

Deployment Efforts Include Four Major Activities

What’s Different about Clean Cities ?

~100 coalitions Serving 78% of the US population

Thousands of stakeholders from businesses, city/state governments, transportation industry, community based organizations, utilities and fuel providers

eere.energy.gov11 | Vehicle Technologies Program

• Start Small – work with a limited number of pilot sites (progressive communities with interested public and private sector partners)

• Identify barriers, challenges, and impediments

• Develop best practices and tools, provide technical assistance, and train local champions

• Implement pilot projects, address problems that arise, document experiences

• Refine best practices and tools, share success stories with mass market

• Scale up - Transfer technologies and best practices learned from pilot communities to other locales, and ultimately to mass market. Utilize champions from pilot communities as pace setters, leverage new business development from pilots to stimulate more widespread private sector investment.

Clean Cities National Deployment Strategy

eere.energy.gov12 | Vehicle Technologies Program

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
