PRCC will engage key stakeholders, provide technical assistance and outreach, and track and report critical program and performance metrics within the coalition's territory to advance locally driven transportation energy choices that support energy security, economic prosperity, and air quality improvement. The award runs through March 31, 2027, with place of performance in Murrysville, Pennsylvania. The Conservation Research and Development program funds balanced, long-term research in energy efficiency technologies across multiple technology areas; awards may be modified, extended, or renewed subject to headquarters review and fund availability.
