Clean Cities
Providing up-to-date grant information to local and regional industry events.
Clean Cities, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, “advances the nation’s economic, environmental, and energy security by supporting local actions to reduce petroleum use in transportation. A national network of nearly 100 Clean Cities coalitions brings together stakeholders in the public and private sectors to deploy alternative and renewable fuels, idle-reduction measures, fuel economy improvements, and emerging transportation markets.”
The Kansas City Regional Clean Cities and the Central Kansas Clean Cities provide up-to-date grant information to local and regional industry events. A membership with these heartland-centered Clean Cities organizations puts you in the middle of the alternative fuels industry. Join us in our efforts to reduce air pollution, strengthen our local economy, and curb our dependence on petroleum. Metropolitan Energy Center (MEC) is a 501(c)3 charitable nonprofit organization that manages the Kansas City Regional Clean Cities Coalition and the Wichita-based Central Kansas Clean Cities Coalition.
A partner in the US Department of Energy’s Clean Cities Program, Kansas City Regional Clean Cities is a coalition of public and private partners seeking to build the awareness and use of alternative fuels in fleets throughout Kansas and western Missouri. The coalition consists of fleet operators, alternative fuel providers, vehicle manufacturers and distributors, and others interested in improving air quality and reducing the use of foreign oil. It has been active since 1996 and was designated a partner with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Clean Cities Program in 1998. Clean Cities’ vision is energy independence and cleaner air through clean fuels and advanced vehicles adoption. Kansas City Clean Cities’ mission is to promote this vision in the greater Kansas City area. It is administered by Metropolitan Energy Center.
