The Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy awarded Eastern Pennsylvania Alliance For Clean Transportation a $215,000 Cooperative Agreement on April 1, 2026, to deliver Clean Cities and Communities Coalition outreach, engagement, and market tracking services. The award funds stakeholder engagement, technical assistance, and outreach activities within the coalition's eastern Pennsylvania territory, data collection and reporting mechanisms to track program performance metrics, and promotion of innovative mobility technologies and domestic energy resources through regional partnerships. The program objective—carried out cooperatively with DOE's Transportation Technologies Office—is to enhance national energy security, support economic prosperity, and improve air quality by fostering locally driven transportation energy choices that leverage domestic energy resources. Performance runs through March 31, 2027, with place of performance in Auburn, Pennsylvania. The award falls under CFDA 81.086, Conservation Research and Development, which funds balanced, long-term research in energy efficiency technologies. Eastern Pennsylvania Alliance For Clean Transportation is a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Auburn and operates exclusively with DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy for its federal funding.
