More than 75 Clean Cities Coalitions are creating significant and lasting change in communities large and small, one project, one local decision and one fleet at a time. Since 1993, Clean Cities coalitions have steadily increased their energy use impact each year through diverse transportation projects for a cumulative impact equal to nearly 12 billion gasoline gallon equivalents, including using biodiesel in more than 200,000 vehicles in 2020. They have also aided in building out the fueling infrastructure to support this growing market.
