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.
