The Clean Cities Program

• Mission To advance the energy, economic and
  environmental security of the United States by
  supporting local decisions to adopt practices
  that reduce the use of petroleum in the
  transportation sector.

• Established in 1993 in response to the Energy
  Policy Act (EPAct) of 1992
• Provides a framework for businesses and
  governments to work together as a coalition
• Companion program to the EPACT mandates requiring
  certain fleets to acquire AFVs (Federal, State,
  and Fuel provider fleets)

Clean Cities Technologies

• Alternative Fuels
• Electricity
• Ethanol (E-85)
• Propane
• Natural Gas
• Hydrogen
• Biodiesel (B100)
• Blended Fuels
• Low levels of alternative fuels with conventional
  fuels
• 10 ethanol / 90 gasoline blends (E10)
• 2 biodiesel / 98 diesel blends (B2)
• 20 biodiesel / 80 diesel blends (B20)

• Idle Reduction
• Heavy-duty trucks
• School Buses
• Hybrids
• Light- and heavy-duty hybrid electric vehicles
• Fuel Economy
• Fuel efficient vehicles, behavioral changes,
  vehicle maintenance initiatives, etc.

Clean Cities Public-Private Partnerships

• Coalition Objectives
• Identify and educate fleets about alternative
  fuels
• Build necessary refueling sites
• Train drivers, mechanics, policymakers and others
• Educate the public
• Find adequate resources for AFV projects
• Encourage governments to pass legislation
  favorable to AFVs
• Fiscal incentives, e.g. taxes
• Non-fiscal incentives, e.g. green parking, HOV
  access

• Refueling Infrastructure for E85 and Alternative
  Fuels (13 Projects)
• 180 AFV Refueling Sites in 25 States and DC
• Installation of biodiesel blending capabilities
• CNG/LNG Infrastructure (2 projects)
• Incremental Cost for Alternative Fuel Vehicles (1
  Project Propane)

I-65 Corridor Project

• The Indiana Office of Energy Defense
  Development was awarded 1.3 million from the
  U.S. Department of Energy to fund E85 and B20
  fueling stations along Interstate 65 from Gary,
  Indiana to Mobile, Alabama
• 886 Miles of I-65 in the states of Indiana,
  Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama are impacted by
  this project
• 31 E85 and 5 B20 pumps are being funded
• Funding also supports 1 biodiesel blending
  facility in Ohio, near the Indiana State line

With the proposed stations in place, one would be
able to travel the entire length of I-65 and be
no more than a quarter of a tank from the nearest
E85 station.

• Potential Areas of Interest include
• Infrastructure for Alternative Fuels
• Incremental Cost for Alternative Fuel Vehicles
• Education and Outreach
• Colleges and Universities
• Solicitation to be released November 2008
