Illinois Alliance for Clean Transportation (IACT) is celebrating its 30th anniversary as the 10th "Clean Cities" coalition designated by the U.S. Department of Energy in May 1994

IACT and its members have eliminated an estimated 2.2 million tons of emissions over 30 years by advancing affordable, efficient, and clean transportation fuels and technologies including natural gas, ethanol, propane, biodiesel, and electricity

IACT has implemented over 15,000 alternative fuel vehicles and more than 400 fuel stations for E85, propane, natural gas, biodiesel, hydrogen, and electric vehicle charging throughout Illinois

IACT has partnered with school districts to adopt buses with low to no tailpipe emissions and worked with government and business fleets to demonstrate environmental and economic benefits of using domestic and renewable energy sources

The resolution recognizes IACT's contributions to Illinois' energy security, economic vitality, air quality, and job creation through partnerships with federal, state, and local agencies, auto manufacturers, fuel suppliers, environmental organizations, and businesses
