Clean Cities Mission
The U.S. Department of Energy's Clean Cities program
advances the nation's economic, environmental, and energy
security by supporting local actions to cut petroleum use in
transportation.
• A national network of 89 Clean Cities coalitions brings together
stakeholders in the public and private sectors to deploy:
– Alternative and renewable fuels (biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, hydrogen,
natural gas, propane)
– Idle-reduction measures
– Fuel economy improvements
– Emerging transportation technologies.
Clean Cities / 6
Clean Cities Strategies
 Replace petroleum with alternative and
renewable fuels
 Reduce petroleum use through fuel
efficiency measures, smarter driving
practices, and idle reduction
 Eliminate petroleum use by promoting
mass transit, trip elimination, and
congestion mitigation
