Director's Update

It’s that time of year again; the Clean Cities Clean Fleet Survey launches this month! Each year, Michigan Clean Cities (MICC) gathers data from our stakeholders – fleets and fuel providers across Michigan – on efforts that increase the use of clean fuels and vehicles. Data from 2023 will be gathered through an online form, or James Leonard, our MICC survey lead, can work directly with your team to complete the survey.

This survey demonstrates the impact of Clean Cities stakeholders on energy, economic, and environmental security. Since 1993, we have cut greenhouse gas emissions by 72 million tons!

Find the 2022 survey report at: cleancities.energy.gov and watch for the 2023 survey to launch mid-February on our website and in your email inbox.

Clean Cities coalitions conserved the equivalent of over 13 billion gallons of gasoline.

Connect with MICC to learn how you can participate in securing economic, environmental, and energy stability through clean transportation and discuss your participation.
