The Columbia
Plateau Clean Cities Coalition is a partnership of public agencies, private companies and entrepreneurs
working to promote the use of alternative
fuel vehicles in order to lessen our country's dependence on foreign
imports, increase the development of value-added agricultural
products through biofuels industry growth and to improve the air
quality of the Columbia Plateau Clean Cities Coalition service
area.
The Coalition
supports alternative fuels as defined by the Energy Policy Act
of 1992 and recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy. Through
cooperation, Clean Cities' members and interested parties seek
to extend the AFV refueling/recharging infrastructure, increase
the number of alternative fuel vehicles purchased or converted,
and educate the public to the benefits of using alternative fuels.
The
Columbia Plateau Clean Cities Coalition is currently in the process
of
gaining an official DOE Clean Cities designation.
