Utah Clean Cities & Communities

What Utah Clean Cities & Communities does

Utah Clean Cities & Communities (UCCC) is a non-profit coalition founded in 1994 and headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, operating as a designated partner of the U.S. Department of Energy's Clean Cities program. The organization functions as a coordination hub and information aggregator rather than a technology developer, connecting fleet operators, transit authorities, municipal governments, and federal land managers with technical assistance, federal funding access, and alternative fuel education across electric, hydrogen, natural gas, propane, ethanol, and biodiesel domains.

The organization's core programs include ChargeWest (a multi-state EV corridor initiative covering eight Intermountain West states), Beyond Zero Green Fleets (fleet optimization), Idle Free Utah (emissions reduction with 60+ mayoral signers), Workplace Charging, NEVI Formula Program deployment, Drive Clean Rural Utah, EVZion, and EPA Near-Port Communities. It also offers workforce development training in partnership with technical colleges and industry organizations such as the Alternate Fuel Vehicle Institute. The organization's flagship strategic asset is its role as principal investigator for ChargeWest, which coordinates EV infrastructure planning across Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming.

UCCC is sustained through a combination of membership fees from coalition members and federal/state government grants channeled through DOE programs, including NEVI and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, relying on direct stakeholder engagement, bi-monthly newsletters, webinars, regional conferences, and social media rather than traditional sales channels. The organization employs 1-10 staff and is led by Executive Director Tammie Bostick. There is no equity ownership, parent company, or investor base; the entity operates as an independent non-profit governed by a Board of Directors.
