C5 - Central Coast Clean Cities Coalition
This page provides a summary of information on the Central Coast
Clean Cities Coalition. For more information, view the official C5
website.
C5 is a group of local stakeholders whose mission is
to expand the use of alternative fuels on the Central Coast. As part
of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) efforts to accelerate the
use of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) and increase AFV refueling
infrastructure, C5 holds monthly stakeholder meetings,
coordinates special events, seeks grant funding and promotes the
benefits of AFVs throughout our community.
C5 is best described as clearing house for people to
get together and learn more about AFVs (e.g., what is required,
what's available, how to purchase AFVs, and where to fuel them).
Active membership is heart of the C5 coalition, with
members from local schools & universities, fuel and vehicle
providers, local government, and the general public.
C5 Goals
- Increase the number of alternative fuel vehicles and expand
the alternative fuel infrastructure in SLO County and improve
the clean fuel corridors between Los Angles, San Francisco and
the San Joaquin Valley.
- Identify local fleets and educate fleet managers /
purchasers to the federal and state mandates regarding AFV
requirements (i.e., identify total fleets in SLO County,
identify fleets required to meet EPAct requirements, support
the development of fleet compliance plans).
- Promote AFV maintenance and technician training programs and
provide listing of training sites and dates.
- Secure grants to promote AFV's and alternative fuel
infrastructure throughout SLO County.
- Promote AFV benefits and awareness to public and private
sectors alike.
