U.S. DOE Clean Cities Program
Celebrates 15th Year Anniversary
The Little Program that Could Becomes
the Big Program that Does!
On March 4, 2009 the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Clean Cities Program officially celebrated the 15th anniversary of the program. Clean Cities Coordinators and program staff, past and present, and industry and government stakeholders and representatives gathered at the U.S. DOE Washington, D.C. headquarters to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of the program, as well as those who helped contribute to its success.
NAFTC Rolls Out New Membership Structure
The National Alternative Fuels Training Consortium (NAFTC) has revamped its membership structure and is forging new partnerships to provide education and outreach for alternative fuels, alternative fuel vehicles and advanced technology vehicles. The revised structure encourages new categories of organizations to take advantage of the services, products and benefits of the NAFTC, along with continuing to provide trainers of automotive technicians with the best curricula and training available to be the leading edge of alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicle education.
New Member Testimonial:
When Yuba College started thinking about implementing alternative fuel courses into the automotive program, we started checking around and doing research to find the best option. We looked around for two years at different groups that we thought could provide the services we needed. Ed Davis, Dean of Business, Social Science & Humanities, Career Technical Education, at Yuba, met Al Ebron, NAFTC Executive Director, at a conference in Anaheim and the connection was made. What the NAFTC offers plugged right into the Yuba program. Joining the NAFTC has been great because Yuba has been able to do things that we normally could not do. The curricula, training, and other services the NAFTC provides, especially the first responder program, were exactly what was needed to complement and expand the Yuba College programs. Becoming an NAFTC National Training Center has moved Yuba into a new and exciting direction.
