Welcome to The Silicon
Valley Clean Cities Coalition (SVCCC) web site
Who we are:
The Silicon Valley Clean Cities Coalition (SVCCC) is a partnership
of public, private agencies, businesses, and interested citizens
dedicated to the advancement of alternative fuels in order
to improve the air quality of the Silicon Valley.
The Coalition is dedicated to promoting and implementing
the use of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs), building a supporting
infrastructure, and fulfilling the goals and objectives of
the Coalition. Members of the Coalition act as resources for
each other and share ideas on how to implement our goals and
objectives.
We aim to promote the awareness of alternative fuels to improve
air quality in the Silicon Valley Region and to encourage
AFV use thus enhancing energy security and environmental quality
at both the national and local levels.
SVCCC
is headed by a five person Board of Directors. The Coalition has staffed a panel of experts that is available to help you with fuel specific questions and implementation assistance on cleaner vehicles.
Mission Statement:
The Silicon Valley Clean Cities Coalition members work together
to promote and expand alternative fuel vehicles and improve
air quality, hold educational and training workshops, support
alternative fuel legislation, and decrease the dependence
on imported oil in order to increase national security and
environmental quality.
Goals and Objectives:
- Increase the number of AFVs and alternative fueling
stations in the Silicon Valley Region.
- Improve the air quality of the Silicon Valley Region
by encouraging the use of alternative fuels, encouraging
alternatives modes to transportation, and supporting legislation
that improve air quality.
- Provide training and informational workshops on alternative
fuels and alternative fuel vehicles to AFV operators and

- Work with legislators and community leaders to affect
policy and legislation, increase public awareness, and
secure funding on AFVs.
What is a Clean City:
Sponsored by the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE), the mission of the Clean Cities program is
to enhance our nation's energy security and air quality by
supporting public and private partnerships that deploy clean-burning
AFVs and build their associated fueling infrastructure.
