Designated the first “Clean City” by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in 1993, Clean Cities–Atlanta (CC-A) served as the central coordinating point for alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) activities in the metro Atlanta area. Through this partnership with DOE’s Clean Cities Program, the coalition of federal, state and local agencies, utilities, public interest groups, and public and private fleets promoted the use of alternatives to gasoline and diesel fuel in cars, trucks, and buses. These alternative fuels helped clean the air while also reducing the nation’s dependence on foreign petroleum.

Clean Cities Mission: To advance the economic, environmental, and energy security of the United States by supporting local decisions to adopt practices that contribute to the reduction of petroleum consumption in the transportation sector.
