Advancing Clean Transportation Across Iowa
The Iowa Clean Cities Coalition is a U.S. Department of Energy-designated coalition in the Clean Cities and Communities partnership. Hosted by the Mid‑Iowa Planning Alliance (MIPA), the Coalition works with public‑ and private‑sector partners to advance affordable, reliable, and secure transportation energy choices across Iowa. By delivering objective technical expertise and fostering locally driven solutions, the Iowa Clean Cities Coalition reduces petroleum use, improves air quality, and supports economic development.
