Project

The Greater New Haven Clean Cities Coalition, Inc. (GNHCCC), together with over 30 partner organizations will develop and implement a state-wide, fuel-neutral effort that will deploy 269 alternative fuel vehicles (AFV) through incremental funding and provide fueling capability for 21 additional fleet vehicles and infrastructure necessary to directly support the vehicle deployments as part of the Connecticut Clean Cities Future Fuels Project. The project will increase the utilization of alternative fuels; strengthen the availability of alternative fuels for fleets and commercial consumers along major corridors in the state; raise awareness and foster greater understanding of alternative fuels and advanced vehicle technologies through a targeted outreach and education effort; create and retain jobs; reduce dependence on foreign oil; reduce harmful emissions; and contribute to a sustainable alternative fuels market.

Mission

Mission Statement Greater New Haven Clean Cities Coalition, Inc. The Greater New Haven Clean Cities Coalition, Inc. (GNHCCC) was designated in 1995 as a coalition of the US Department of Energy Clean Cities Program.

The goal was and is today to improve air quality, support economic development, increase energy security, and reduce dependence on petroleum by promoting alternative transportation fuels and vehicles through a public/private partnership of stakeholders.  

The mission of the Clean Cities Program is to advance the nation's economy, environment, and energy security by supporting local decisions to adopt practices and procedures that contribute to the reduction of petroleum consumption.

Clean Cities carries out this mission through a network of more than 85 volunteer coalitions, which develop public/private partnerships to promote alternative fuels and vehicles, fuel blends, fuel economy, hybrid vehicles, and idle reduction. The GNHCCC and coalitions across the country are made up of local and state government agencies, private companies, non-profit organizations, and interested individuals who are dedicated to leading the way towards the use of alternative fuels/vehicles (AFVs), hybrids, fuel economy and idle reduction technology.
