  1. Clean Cities……We Can Help! Mark Smith Mark S. Smith CNG Workshop Bronx Zoo March 13, 2012 Technology Deployment Manager Clean Cities, U.S. Department of Energy mark.smith@ee.doe.gov 202-287-5151

  2. Clean Cities A voluntary, locally-based government/industry partnership Established in 1993 in response to the Energy Policy Act (EPAct) of 1992 Companion program to the EPACT mandates requiring certain fleets to acquire AFVs (Federal, State, and Fuel Provider Fleets) Deployment of alternative fuels and advanced vehicle technologies Funded and managed by DOE-HQ in Washington, DC. DOE Regional Project Management Centers (located in Pittsburgh, PA; Morgantown, VA, and Golden, CO) guide coalitions and manage projects. Mission:To advance the energy, economic, and environmental security of the U.S. by supporting local decisions to adopt practices that contribute to the reduction of petroleum use in the transportation sector.

  3. Clean Cities Deployment Efforts include 4 major activities Local Community/Coalition Support & Partnership Development: Direct support for CC activities, public events, training for Clean Cities coalitions & community leaders, local project coordination, strategic planning assistance Consumer Information, Outreach, and Education: Fuel Economy Guide, Alternative Fuel and Advance Vehicles Data Center (AFDC), other web based consumer tools, publications, workshops, targeted workforce and end-user education Technical & Problem Solving Assistance: Addressing Market Barriers, Safety Issues, Technology shortfalls Financial Assistance: Funding to Facilitate Infrastructure Development and Vehicle Deployment projects (Competitive Awards) $

  4. Forming Local Community Partnerships: (Clean Cities Coalitions) ~100 coalitions Serving 78% of the US population Thousands of stakeholders from businesses, city & state governments, transportation industry, community organizations, fuel providers

  5. Clean Cities Portfolio of Technologies Replace Reduce Eliminate Fuel Economy More Fuel efficient vehicles, adopting smarter driving and vehicle purchasing habits Hybrids Light- and heavy-duty Electric hybrids Plug-In hybrids Hydraulic hybrids • Alternative Fuels • Electric Vehicles • Biodiesel • Ethanol • Hydrogen • Propane • Natural Gas Idle Reduction Heavy-Duty Trucks School & Transit Buses Light-Duty Vehicles

  6. Clean Cities Efforts Get Results • 3.7 Billion Gallons of Petroleum Reduction since 1993 • Over 560,000 AFVs on the road • 10,000 alternative fueling stations (CC influenced >70% of them) • Long term goal of 2.5B gal/year by 2020
