Why Join the CTN?
Accelerating Market Transformation Through Partnerships
An Appeal to Clean Transportation Stakeholders
For over 30 years, Clean Cities and Communities (CC&C) coalitions across the U.S. have played a pivotal role in building the market for alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles—engaging fleets, training technicians, educating the public, and supporting local infrastructure development. Together, these coalitions have helped deploy more than 1.6 million alternative fuel vehicles and reduce 72 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
At the center of this movement is a deep, trusted connection to the communities that drive change—from rural fleets adopting propane school buses to cities transitioning to EVs or hydrogen transit.
Now, through the Clean Transportation Network (CTN), these local leaders are working together to expand their collective reach, streamline messaging, and unify campaigns that accelerate the adoption of clean transportation technologies nationwide.
The CTN is building a unified national voice for coalition work—amplifying education campaigns, increasing visibility for available technologies, and ensuring support for the fleets and communities ready to make the switch.
Your support—whether through membership, sponsorship, or charitable giving—can help CTN:
Sustain outreach and technical assistance where it's needed most
Build brand-agnostic, public-facing awareness campaigns that promote clean vehicle adoption
Provide national coordination and shared tools for over 75 local coalitions
Ensure rural, low-income, and frontline communities are not left behind in the transportation transition
A National Call to Action

Why Your Support Matters Now
Despite growing demand for low- and zero-emission vehicles, shifting federal priorities and funding instability are disrupting the local, ground-level work that sustains market momentum. Coalitions are facing reduced capacity to support fleets, engage decision-makers, or help buyers navigate the transition—especially in underserved regions and first-adopter markets where trust and education are key.
A Strategic Opportunity for Industry Leaders
Supporting CTN as a member or funder is not just philanthropy—it’s a strategic investment in the health of your market.
CTN offers vehicle and equipment manufacturers:
National visibility through public campaigns and media
Collaborative branding opportunities with clean transportation allies
Direct connection to fleets and communities actively seeking vehicle solutions
Access to unified messaging and data that build trust in advanced fuels and technologies
We welcome your leadership in supporting this nationwide push for clean transportation infrastructure—one that directly advances your goals for expanded adoption, equity, and sustainable growth.

Why Your Support Matters Now
The transition to clean transportation relies on more than just the vehicles—it depends on access to reliable, affordable, and well-supported fueling and charging infrastructure. As the market grows, so does the demand for education, workforce development, permitting support, and stakeholder engagement—all areas where Clean Cities and Communities (CC&C) coalitions have been instrumental for decades.
But that progress is now at risk.
Shifting federal priorities and gaps in program funding are reducing the capacity of coalitions to support alternative fueling stations and technology adoption at the local level. In many cases, the very fleets and communities poised to deploy clean fuels are left without guidance or hands-on support—especially in underserved, rural, or hard-to-reach markets.
The Clean Transportation Network (CTN) is working to close that gap by providing the national coordination, campaign resources, and shared tools coalitions need to scale their impact and drive infrastructure deployment where it’s needed most.
Your support can help:
Maintain local capacity for outreach, permitting education, and stakeholder engagement
Expand awareness campaigns that promote your fueling technologies to fleets and municipalities
Ensure equity in infrastructure deployment by supporting outreach to rural and frontline communities
Accelerate public understanding and acceptance of alternative fuels through consistent, brand-neutral messaging
Build momentum for your technology across a trusted national network
A Strategic Opportunity for Fuel & Infrastructure Leaders
CTN isn’t just amplifying the clean transportation message—it’s accelerating market readiness. As a funder or affiliate member, you’ll be part of a trusted network driving awareness and adoption at scale.
Supporters benefit from:
Campaign alignment that reflects the breadth of your technologies without promoting specific brands
Access to coalition-hosted events and media exposure in key markets

Why Your Support Matters Now
For decades, advocacy organizations and mission-driven nonprofits have played a critical role in advancing clean transportation—from shaping policy and conducting research, to piloting new technologies and directly supporting fleets in transition.
But despite growing urgency around decarbonizing transportation, shifting federal priorities and inconsistent funding streams are putting locally driven efforts at risk. Clean Cities and Communities (CC&C) coalitions—trusted partners in deployment, education, and fleet engagement—are facing operational constraints that limit their ability to support the very technologies and policy solutions we all champion.
The Clean Transportation Network (CTN) is helping fill this gap—strengthening national coordination, elevating shared messaging, and providing the foundational infrastructure coalitions need to continue their work. Through your partnership, we can sustain and scale efforts to build awareness, support fleets, and advance solutions that reduce emissions across sectors and geographies.
