Utah's (formerly Salt Lake) Clean Cities Coalition is one of 85 coalitions around the country that's part of the U.S. Department of Energy's strategy to reduce America's dependence on imported foreign oil. We promote the following energy security strategies: alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs), low-fuel blends, fuel economy, hybrid electric vehicles and idle reduction. Locally, alternative fuels include compressed natural gas, propane, and to a lesser degree, ethanol and biodiesel.

Since October, 1994, Salt Lake Clean Cities has grown to an independent, non-profit organization made up of approximately 65 governments and private organizations.

The Clean Cities' collective goal, nationwide, is to reduce this country's import needs by one million gallons of oil per day by the year 2020. Such a reduction in petroleum use alone will improve air quality through reduced mobile emissions.

• Reduce our dependence on foreign oil
• Enhance air quality in the community
• Familiarize fleet managers/operators with the benefits of including AFVs in their fleets
• Stay informed and knowledgeable about new technology, incentives and grants
• Encourage involvement and participation because it's the right thing to do!

Utah Clean Cities is a 501 3 c, non-profit organization. Salary and operation funds are provided through an intergovernmental agreement between the Utah Energy Office and the Office of the Mayor, Salt Lake City. The operating budget comes primarily from charitable contributions. The organization annually competes for federal funds through grant writing. Those funds go entirely to support clean fuel projects in Utah. The Coalition welcomes new stakeholders, and there is no membership fee at this time.
