The United States Department of Energy officially recognized the Greater Long Island Clean Cities Coalition (GLICCC) as the 51st Clean City organization in the United States on October 18, 1996. In late 2000, GLICCC entered into a joint-operations agreement and became a clean air program at the Long Island Forum for Technology, (LIFT) in Bayshore, NY.

GLICCC is dedicated to expanding the use of alternatives to gasoline and diesel fuel, thereby improving air quality, facilitating energy independence and encouraging economic growth. GLICCC has worked diligently to help businesses and municipalities make the transition to cleaner burning alternative fuel vehicles to reduce harmful emissions and help Long Island become more compliant with the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990.

We are a Fuel Neutral organization and can provide information and development assistance with all alternative fuels including LPG, CNG, electricity, methanol, ethanol, HEV and biodiesel. GLICCC is one of the most effective tools that Long Island fleet owners have in the implementation of an alternative fuel fleet of vehicles in an efficient, cost-effective manner.

Since 1996, GLICCC has worked collaboratively with government and private fleets to develop and increase usage of alternative fuels through the funding of alternative fuel vehicle purchases and the construction of alternative fuel infrastructure. GLICCC has secured 9 million dollars in grant funding from sources such as U.S. Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality, (CMAQ) program and the New York State Energy Program. These dollars have been used for AFV deployment, refueling stations, education and awareness programs in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. For a list all past programs please go to the link under the Mission header.

The five main technology areas that the Clean Cities program focuses on are:

Alternative Fuels & Vehicles
Fuel Blends
Fuel Economy
