Cooperative Agreement DEEE0012004

Virginia Clean Cities received a $223,000 Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy under the Conservation Research and Development program (CFDA 81.086) for the period April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027. Under this award, Virginia Clean Cities provided outreach, engagement, and market tracking services as part of the Clean Cities and Communities (CC&C) Coalitions initiative. The organization engaged key stakeholders within its territory in Harrisonburg, Virginia, delivered technical assistance to promote cleaner transportation technologies and fuels, and tracked critical program and performance metrics to support the broader CC&C coalition's mission of enhancing national energy security and improving air quality through locally driven transportation energy choices.

The award supports Virginia Clean Cities' role as a non-profit coalition coordinator working cooperatively with DOE's Transportation Technologies Office. The organization's activities directly advanced the adoption of clean transportation solutions and alternative fuels while providing collaborative support to public and private stakeholders within its region. This funding represents part of DOE's broader Conservation Research and Development program portfolio, which supports balanced, long-term initiatives across multiple technology sectors to reduce energy consumption and advance decarbonization goals.
