In addition to direct engagement and technical assistance activities, the Coalition will track and report critical program and performance metrics to support DOE's monitoring of Clean Cities and Communities initiatives. This award represents the federal government's investment in regional transportation energy transformation efforts that depend on collaborative partnerships and locally tailored solutions to achieve broader national energy and environmental objectives.
