The mission of the Vermont Clean Cities Coalition (VCCC) is to reduce the state’s reliance on

fossil fuels for transportation. This annual report provides policy makers with relevant and

timely data on the status of fuel consumption, vehicle purchases, transportation

expenditures, and travel behavior. This information is intended to form the basis of datadriven

policy discussions and initiatives.

The VCCC is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and the Vermont Department of

Public Service. The University of Vermont Transportation Research Center has served as the

host of the VCCC since July 2007. Nationwide, there are 87 local Clean Cities Coalitions in

45 states. VCCC stakeholders include fleet managers, state and local officials, auto dealers,

students, and academics.

The transportation sector is the largest energy user in Vermont, and thus a primary focus

when it comes to reducing the state’s energy and fossil fuel use (Figure 1-1). The residential

sector closely follows as the second largest energy consumer in the state.
