Leveling the Playing Field
for Rural America
Local governments, businesses, hospitals, and schools across the country are saving money and enjoying cleaner air by transitioning fleets to U.S. clean fuels and advanced vehicle technologies. But too often, rural communities miss out on these benefits because they don’t have equitable access to information, infrastructure, and financing support.
Drive Clean Rural USA is setting out to change that.
There is no one clean fuel or one path that makes sense for every community. That is why we will provide vehicle demos, fleet assessments, and expert consultation to help rural counties develop practical plans that reflect their fleet priorities, fuel type costs & benefits, infrastructure & financing options, and available federal and state financial incentives.

The Project
Drive Clean Rural USA is an 8-state pilot project funded by DOE. Participating county government and private fleet partners will receive free assistance from Clean Cities coalitions in the eight states and our industry partners.
Drive Clean Rural USA is a 3-phase project that will run through June 2024.
