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.
