DOE’s Vehicle Technology Program2012 Clean Cities Overview Rita Ebert Coordinator, Greater Long Island Clean Cities Coalition
Clean Cities – 20 Years of Deployment Clean Cities advances the energy, economic, and environmental security of the United States by supporting local actionsto reduce petroleum use in transportation. Strong, Established, Staying Power 20 Years in 2013
Clean Cities A voluntary, locally-based government/industry partnership Established in 1993 in response to the Energy Policy Act 1992 Companion program to the EPACT mandates requiring certain fleets to acquire AFVs (Federal, State, and Fuel Provider Fleets) Long Term Goal: By 2020, 2.5B gal/yr (GGE) of petroleum reduction with alt-fuels and other VT-Deploy initiatives. Mission: Develop partnerships & support local decisions to adopt vehicle technologies and practices that contribute to petroleum reduction in the transportation sector. Accelerate widespread usage of advanced technologies.
Clean Cities (leveraging people & resources) Goals: • By 2020, Facilitate 2.5B gal/yr (GGE) of petroleum reduction with alt-fuels and other VT-Deploy initiatives. • Facilitate electric drive vehicle & infrastructure deployment that supports the “1M EVs by 2015” Presidential goal. • Remove barriers and accelerate deployment of alt-fuel vehicles in support of the President’s “All of the Above” transportation energy strategy. ~100 coalitions serving 78% of the U.S. population Develop partnerships & support local decisions to adopt vehicle technologies and practices that contribute to petroleum reduction in the transportation sector. Accelerate widespread usage of advanced vehicle technologies

US DOE Clean Cities Primary Goal and Results PRIMARY GOAL: Mass market adoption of alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles and smarter driving habits • Reduced Petroleum Use in Transportation • Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions PRIMARY GOAL RESULTS • Reduced Dependence on Foreign Oil • Improved US Energy, Economic, and Environmental Security
Deployment Efforts Include Four Major Activities Local Community/Coalition Support and Partnership Development:DOE helps convene key community and business leaders to develop and implement projects, leverage resources, and address local barriers Public Information, Outreach, and Education: DOE-developed tools help consumers save money on fuel cost and help fleets understand their options for cost-effective alternatives to gasoline and diesel fuel Technical & Problem Solving Assistance: DOE experts help local leaders address permitting and safety issues, technology shortfalls, and other project implementation barriers Competitively-Awarded Financial Assistance: Federal cost-share encourages initial private sector match and long-term investment $

Clean Cities National Deployment Strategy • Start Small – work with a limited number of pilot sites (progressive communities with interested public and private sector partners) • Identify barriers, challenges, and impediments • Develop best practices and tools, provide technical assistance, and train local champions • Implement pilot projects, address problems that arise, document experiences • Refine best practices and tools, share success stories with mass market • Scale up - Transfer technologies and best practices learned from pilot communities to other locales, and ultimately to mass market. Utilize champions from pilot communities as pace setters, leverage new business development from pilots to stimulate more widespread private sector investment.
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
