GM Rewards 52 Clean Cities Coalitions

General Motors (GM) announced the recipients of its 2007 Clean Cities Rewards at the Alternative Fuels and Vehicles National Conference in April. Fifty-two coalitions received grants, which are awarded based on E85 and compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicle sales and station installation, fleet participation in GM-sponsored functions, and GM Certified AFV Dealer involvement.

GM named Houston-Galveston Clean Cities as its 2007 top-performing coalition, awarding it with a $10,000 grant. Chicago Clean Cities received $5,000, and Clean Fuels Ohio and Virginia Clean Cities each received $3,000. In addition, 19 coalitions received $2,000 grants, and 29 coalitions received $1,000. According to GM, the goal is to reward coalitions that are truly "moving the needle" toward E85 and CNG vehicle sales.
