Big News! YTCC Awarded $1 million DOE Grant

Happy Halloween!!

I am thrilled to share that yesterday the Department of Energy announced our Northern Mountain West Collaborative Expansion Project was awarded $1 million. 

The project will develop a four-state regional partnership across Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, and Wyoming to strategically collaborate for increased adoption of alternative fuel vehicles and fuel, focusing on medium- and heavy-duty fleets. This project will add staff capacity to North Dakota Clean Cities, Treasure Valley Clean Cities and Yellowstone-Teton Clean Cities to bring cohesive planning, programming, and implementation to stakeholders throughout the region.

We’ll focus on the fuels identified in the US National Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization for medium and heavy-duty fleet vehicles, including electric, hydrogen, and renewable fuels, with a focus on renewable diesel as the fuel is produced in three of the states in this partnership.

Along with many other Clean Cities and Communities Coalitions, we’re also a partner on the National Fire Protection Association project.
