What is a Clean Cities
Coalition?
Clean
Cities is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) program designed
to advance the nation's
economic, environmental, and energy security by supporting
local groups that encourage practices that contribute to the
reduction of petroleum consumption. The Clean Cities Program
carries out this mission through a nationwide network of
more than 80 volunteer coalitions which develop
public/private partnerships to promote alternative fuels and
vehicles, fuel blends, fuel economy, hybrid vehicles, and
idle reduction.
Designated in 2006, the Treasure Valley Clean Cities
Coalition encourages alternative fuel use in the Treasure
Valley. Clean Cities coalitions are
comprised of local stakeholders who agree to do their part
to reduce the use of petroleum. Stakeholders can include
private businesses, state and federal agencies, utilities,
military installations, universities, schools and
not-for-profit organizations, as well as individuals.
