Virginia Clean Cities

As we enter the holidays and reflect on a successful year, we would like to express our gratitude for your support. From events to webinars to new infrastructure, we’ve accomplished a lot together this year. Your partnership and collaboration is what makes us one of the most successful Clean Cities and Communities coalitions in the nation. In 2024, VCC successfully won several new federal awards aimed at advancing clean transportation in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Some of our new projects in 2025 have us leading regional cohorts and assisting newer coalitions. However, 2025 also holds uncertainty for our federal agency partners and future funding opportunities. This holiday season, please consider a year-end gift or membership to help us continue our worthwhile mission.
