Fact #550: December 22, 2008
Clean Cities Coalitions
As a result of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, the Clean Cities Program was started by the Department of Energy to contribute to the energy, environmental, and economic security of the United States by supporting local decisions to reduce our dependence on imported petroleum. Government agencies and private companies voluntarily come together in a coalition which provides tools and resources for community-centered programs to reduce consumption of petroleum-based fuels. There are currently 86 designated Clean Cities Coalitions.
