Federal Cooperative Agreement Award Summary

The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) 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, funds NCTCOG's Clean Cities and Communities (CC&C) Coalitions outreach, engagement, and market tracking initiative. Under this agreement, NCTCOG will engage key stakeholders, provide technical assistance and outreach within its service territory in the North Central Texas region, and track and report critical program and performance metrics to support locally driven transportation energy choices that leverage domestic energy resources and innovative mobility technologies.

The cooperative agreement supports NCTCOG's collaborative partnerships with public and private stakeholders to enhance national energy security, support economic prosperity, and improve air quality through the CC&C Coalitions framework. NCTCOG's regional planning and coordination capabilities position it to deliver these services across multiple counties and jurisdictions in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, leveraging its extensive experience administering federal transportation and energy efficiency initiatives.
