The Greater Los Angeles area has more Alternate Fuel Vehicles
(AFVs) than any other area in the country and continues to
lead the way with innovated vehicle and station development
for AFVs.
The mission
of the Clean Cities Program is to advance the nation's economic,
environmental, and energy security by supporting local decisions
to adopt practices that contribute to the reduction of petroleum
consumption. Clean Cities carries out this mission through
a network of more than 80 volunteer coalitions, which develop
public/private partnerships to promote alternative fuels and
vehicles, fuel blends, fuel economy, hybrid vehicles, and
idle reduction.
The Partnership
administers the Clean Cities Program in the SCAG region and
works to build up and support the public and private participants
of the Coalition. Specifically in 2006/2007, the Coalition
seeks to:
Organize
and host at least one targeted niche market event in conjunction
with an auto or truck manufacturer with the intent to sell
AFVs.
Confirm
the existence, operation, and the average amount and price
of fuel sold annually, of all AFV refueling sites in the
coalition area as shown in the Alternative Fuel Data Center
(AFDC) station locator, and keep the AFDC informed of station
openings and closings.
Develop
a plan for coalition financial sustainability that describes
what will be done during the grant period.
Organize
and host at least four stakeholder meetings per year.
Meet
with at least two local state policy staff members on the
benefits of alternative fuels.
Develop
strategies to enhance the AFV Public Awareness Program.
Conduct
annual survey of stakeholder AFV implementation and use
in the Greater Los Angeles region.
The Clean
Cities Coalition coordinates the activities of both private
and public sector proponents of AFVs by providing a forum
to discover their commonalties, collaborate on public policy,
investigate opportunities for joint projects, leverage scarce
resources, and cooperate on promoting the benefits of AFVs
in the community. If your city or company would like to work
with the Clean Cities Coalition in building the AFV market
and infrastructure in the greater Los Angeles area, contact
JoAnn Armenta, the Clean Cities Coalition Coordinator at 909/396-5757
