Background

The United States Department of Energy (DOE) is committed to energy use in the American transportation sector that is (i) more efficient; (ii) less dependent on foreign sources; (iii) less environmentally disruptive; (iv) sustainable; and (v) safe. The Energy Policy Act of 1992, supplemented by the 1993 Executive Order 12844: Federal Use of Alternative Fuel Vehicles, and the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, all establish guidelines for effecting a favorable energy and environmental situation in the transportation sector. The DOE Clean Cities program is an umbrella to structure and achieve Energy Policy Act program goals and to coordinate objectives of governments and other federal directives, such as the Clean Air Act.

The program is a voluntary, locally based government/industry partnership to mobilize local stakeholders in the effort to expand the use of alternatives to gasoline and diesel fuel.
