Valley of the Sun Clean Cities Coalition

Who we are

We are a free-standing non-profit 501(c)(3), one of over 75 Clean Cities Coalitions across the US designated by the US Department of Energy. Our mission is to reduce the use of petroleum motor fuel for cleaner air and to improve energy security. The Valley of the Sun Clean Cities Coalition was incorporated in 2003 with the goal of reducing the use of petroleum fuels here in Arizona. Stakeholders such as APS, SRP and the cities of Phoenix and Scottsdale recognized a need for an independent organization to address alternative fuel and sustainability issues in the metro Phoenix area. With the help of these stakeholders VSCCC was formed and designated by the US Department of Energy as an independent Clean Cities Organization.

Our Mission

We are dedicated to improving the air quality in our region by advancing the use of alternative fuels in the transportation sector.

To accomplish this goal, our coalition works locally to advocate for practices that promote clean domestic energy and reduce dependence on conventional petroleum-based fuels. We perform educational outreach on alternative fuels and collaborate with regional stakeholders and fleets to provide them with the resources they need to adopt clean fuels.

Our Board

Our board consists of members of Arizona Public Service, Arizona State University, City of Phoenix, City of Scottsdale, Mesa Utilities, Salt River Project, Southwest Gas, Maricopa County Air Quality Department, and other Phoenix area stakeholders.

Who we work with

We work closely with state and national entities to further our mission of reducing the use of petroleum fuels in the state of Arizona. Some of our partners include ADOT, The US Department of Energy, and the National Renewable Energy Labs. We also regularly collaborate with the other Clean Cities Coalitions across the US. These are just a few of the many other organizations we are grateful to be able to work with towards the common goal of reducing emissions and creating a cleaner, more sustainable future.
