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.
