Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham announced the selection of awards for 55 communities that participate in the Energy Department's Clean Cities program. The winners of the competitive grants will purchase alternative fuel vehicles, develop refueling stations and infrastructure, deploy alternative fuel school buses, and develop alternative fuel vehicle platforms. "These projects will assist the national Clean Cities program in its mission," Abraham said. "They are consistent with President Bush's National Energy Policy because they will reduce the nation's dependence on foreign oil, improve the quality of air, and increase the use of alternative fuels." The Clean Cities program received 135 proposals for this competitive grant award. Clean Cities projects help establish partnerships between federal, state and local governments to promote and increase the use of alternative fuels and alternative fuel vehicles. The Clean Cities program, established by the Department of Energy in 1993, now includes about 80 participating communities that work together to foster the development of a sustainable alternative fuels market.
