Clean cities and communities coalition outreach, engagement, and market tracking program clean cities and communities (CC & c) coalitions work cooperatively with the U.S. Department of energy's (DOE) transportation technologies office (TTO) to enhance the nation's energy security, support economic prosperity, and improve air quality by fostering locally driven transportation energy choices that leverage domestic energy resources and innovative mobility technologies through collaborative partnerships with public and private stakeholders. The objective of this project is for CC & c coalitions to engage key stakeholders, provide technical assistance and outreach within the coalition's territory, and to track and report critical program and performance metrics.
