Chicago Area Clean Cities

Chicago Area Clean Cities, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, is a nonprofit coalition focused on promoting clean transportation in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. The coalition's membership is comprised of federal, state and local governments, corporations, small businesses, and individuals. These stakeholders come together to share... information and resources, educate the public, help craft public policy, and collaborate on projects that reduce petroleum use. The coalition is one of nearly 100 coalitions across the country affiliated with the U.S. Department of Energy's Clean Cities program, which brings together stakeholders to increase the use of alternative fuel and advanced-vehicle technologies, reduce idling, and improve fuel economy and air quality. The coalition concentrates its efforts on educating businesses and municipalities in the six-county Chicago region, including Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will counties.Read More
