Benefits of Coalition
Membership:
A unique blend of private organizations, public agencies,
and interested citizens make up the Silicon Valley Clean Cities
Coalition, which is headed by a Board of Directors. By becoming
a member, you will gain numerous benefits:
- Collective Effort: Membership in the Coalition
provides a forum for joint action in working towards the
common goals of reducing air pollution, global warming and
the importation of petroleum.
- Legislative Influence: The Coalition is active
at the federal and state levels, seeking support for alternative
fuels including financial incentives for vehicle purchases,
infrastructure development and fuels. Participation in the
Coalition helps provide members a voice in these legislative
processes, while each member's participation bolsters the
collective effort of the Coalition as a whole.
- Public Image: Membership in the Coalition identifies
your business or agency as environmentally friendly and
active in addressing environmental concerns.
- Financial Assistance: As a Clean Cities organization,
the Coalition has access to grants specifically allocated

provides up-to-date information on the latest developments
in alternative fuel vehicles and provides technical training
on alternative fuel vehicles through the Advanced Transportation
Technologies as well as hosting educational workshops.

access to entities currently employing alternative fuel
vehicles, providing the opportunity to learn from the experiences

the Coalition provides mutually beneficial business opportunities
to members.
