What is the Clean Transportation Network (CTN)?
The CTN is a national nonprofit founded by forward thinking leaders of the Clean Cities & Communities (CC&C) network — professionals with over 35 years of on-the-ground experience advancing clean transportation across the U.S.
We are your single point of contact to reach 40+ coalitions in nearly every region of the country — without making 40 separate calls. From national education campaigns and fleet training to grant support and infrastructure deployment, we connect you to the right local experts, already trusted in their communities, to get the work done.
One call. Nationwide reach. Real results.
-
How is CTN different from my local Clean Cities coalition?
Your local coalition implements clean transportation programs on the ground—providing technical assistance, fleet outreach, public education, and infrastructure deployment. CTN supports them by coordinating across coalitions, supplying shared resources, delivering national-level awareness campaigns, and helping these groups scale their impact
-
Why give to CTN instead of (or in addition to) local membership?
There are 2 ways to support the CTN: Membership and Donating to the CNT Growth Fund. CTN’s membership program helps both industry and coalitions by creating unified messaging, efficient resource sharing, and brand consistency. Supporting the CTN Growth Fund campaign helps us to expand our reach and serve our members. Still, direct support to your local coalition is vital—they deliver immediate, local outcomes. We encourage donors to contribute to both for maximum impact.

Who can become a CTN Member?
CTN offers affiliate memberships for clean transportation stakeholders—including nonprofits, vehicle OEMs, suppliers, fleets, utilities, and service providers. Annual levels (Partner, Champion, Sustaining, Founders Club) offer benefits like campaign collaboration, branding exposure, and priority access to CTN resources

How does CTN stay impartial?
CTN is an independent, nonprofit organization that provides non-partisan support. We are governed by a board representing a diverse range of Clean Cities coalitions, and operate with no agenda beyond enabling cleaner transportation solutions

Who handles CTN finances?
While CTN works toward 501(c)(3) status, its operations are supported through a fiscal sponsorship with Louisiana Clean Fuels (LCF)—a fully recognized nonprofit. All donations are tax-deductible
