Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The City of Columbus, has been awarded a grant from the United States Department of Energy through the local Clean Cities Coalition designee, Clean Fuels Ohio. The funding opportunity is titled "Clean Cities FY09 Petroleum Reduction Technologies Projects for the Transportation Sector", Area of Interest 4, and was created through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to fund cost-shared projects that expand the use of alternative fueled vehicles and advanced technology vehicles as well as the installation or acquisition of infrastructure necessary to directly support an alternative fueled vehicle or advanced technology vehicle.

Local governments must be in partnership with an active designated Clean Cities Coalition in order to be eligible for funds. Clean Fuels Ohio is the Clean Cities Coalition designee for Columbus. Clean Fuels Ohio was the grant applicant and will serve as the fiduciary for grant funds. The City of Columbus is a partner in the grant and will be responsible for the administration of its portion of grant funds received.
