Federal Cooperative Agreement Award Summary

The Indian Nations Council of Governments (INCOG), doing business as Incog, received a $215,000 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). The award, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027, supports INCOG's participation in the Clean Cities and Communities (CC&C) Coalitions initiative. Under this agreement, INCOG will engage key stakeholders within its northeast Oklahoma territory, provide technical assistance and outreach to promote locally driven transportation energy choices, and track and report critical program performance metrics that support the nation's energy security, economic prosperity, and air quality improvement objectives.

INCOG's role as a regional planning organization and metropolitan planning organization positions it to coordinate collaborative partnerships among public and private stakeholders in the Tulsa metropolitan area and surrounding counties. The CC&C Coalitions program leverages domestic energy resources and innovative mobility technologies through INCOG's established networks with local governments and community partners, enabling the organization to facilitate the adoption of alternative fuels, advanced vehicles, and sustainable transportation infrastructure across the region during the one-year performance period.
