Clean Cities is a locally based, industry and government partnership sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy. Its mission is to advance the economic, environmental, and energy security goals of the United States by supporting local decisions to adopt practices that contribute to the reduction of petroleum consumption in the transportation sector.

The objectives of the Clean Cities program are:

• to facilitate the deployment of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs)
• to support the installation of an alternative fuel refueling infrastructure throughout the nation
• to increase the use of altfuel blends such as diesel/biodiesel, ethanol/gasoline, and compressed natural gas/hydrogen
• to accelerate sales of hybrid electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids
• to promote informed consumer choice on fuel economy
• to encourage the use of idle reduction technologies for heavy-duty trucks and other vehicles

In addition, Clean Cities supports the objectives of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 and the Energy Policy Act of 1992.

In 2007, there were 85 active Clean Cities coalitions in metropolitan areas across the country representing more than 5,400 stakeholders.

The Central Oklahoma Clean Cities program is sponsored by the Association of Central Oklahoma Governments, the Oklahoma Dept. of Commerce and the U.S. Dept. of Energy. Is a catalyst for new jobs and industry in the region and statewide. The relationship all partners and stakeholders maintain is one that advances not only DOE goals, but also Oklahoma economic development goals.
