Massachusetts
Clean Cities Coalition
(MACCC)

The Massachusetts Clean Cities Coalition (MACCC) is part of a nationwide partnership sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Clean Cities Program. Our coalition's mission is to advance the Commonwealth's environment, energy security and economic prosperity through collaboration with communities by building partnerships with public and private stakeholders that create equitable deployment of clean transportation solutions for all.

In March 1994, Boston became the 7th U.S. city to be designated a Clean Cities Coalition. In 1999, this Coalition became the present-day statewide program, the Massachusetts Clean Cities Coalition.

Who can join

Public-private partnerships developed through stakeholders are integral to the coalition's success. Organizations interested in clean transportation and energy can become a Massachusetts Clean Cities Coalition stakeholder. Businesses, institutions, and governments are encouraged to join! Your commitment will help grow the alternative fuel vehicle market. If your organization has a fleet, you can also learn how to reduce its carbon footprint.

Rebate and Incentive Programs

• MOR-EV (Electric Vehicle Rebate Program)
  MOR-EV provides rebates for the purchase or lease of eligible battery electric vehicles and fuel-cell electric vehicles, including passenger cars and medium- and heavy-duty trucks and other vehicle types.
• Massachusetts Electric Vehicle Incentive Program (MassEVIP) Charging Funds
  MassEVIP offers the Workplace Charging program. The Workplace Charging program is an open grant program. MassEVIP Workplace Charging offers employers 50% of the funding for hardware costs towards Level 1 and 2 Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations. Grants may be in amounts up to $25,000. Massachusetts employers with 15 or more employees in non-residential places of business are eligible.

Driving Electric in Massachusetts

Per the Department of Energy, Electric Vehicles (EVs) use electricity as their primary fuel or to improve the efficiency of conventional vehicle designs. EVs are known for providing instant torque and a quiet driver experience.

Alternative Fuel Types

• Alternative Fuels Data Center: Biodiesel (energy.gov)
  As per the Department of Energy, Biodiesel is a renewable, biodegradable fuel manufactured domestically from vegetable oils, animal fats or recycled restaurant grease. Biodiesel meets both the biomass-based diesel and overall advanced biofuel requirement for the Renewable Fuel Standard.
• Alternative Fuels Data Center: Ethanol (energy.gov)
  As per the Department of Energy, Ethanol is a renewable fuel made from various plant materials collectively known as biomass. More than 98% of U.S. gasoline contains ethanol to oxygenate the fuel. Typically, gasoline contains E10 (10% ethanol, 90% gasoline), which reduces air pollution.
• Alternative Fuels Data Center: Natural Gas (energy.gov)
  Natural gas is a fossil fuel composed mostly of methane. It is available as compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG). Natural gas is considered an alternative fuel, as it is non-toxic and clean-burning.
• Propane
  Propane or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is a byproduct of natural gas processing and crude oil refining. It is recognized as an alternative fuel because it is non-toxic, clean burning, and mostly obtained through domestic resources.

• Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Coordinating Council (EVICC)
  In August 2022, An Act Driving Clean Energy and Offshore Wind (Act) was signed into law. Recognizing the need for Massachusetts to develop a comprehensive plan for transportation emission reduction, the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Coordinating Council (EVICC) was established pursuant to Section 81 of the Act to develop strategies resulting in an equitable, interconnected, accessible, and reliable electric vehicle (EV) charging network in Massachusetts.
