Energy Independence Summit 2012 March 25-28 in Washington, DC
Register Today!
Since 2006, TEP has convened annual Energy Independence Summits where the nation’s Clean Cities leaders travel to Washington, DC to share best practices and educate federal policy makers about the benefits of the U.S. DOE’s Clean Cities Program and the need for additional tools and resources to overcome the barriers to the widespread use of clean vehicles and fuels.
The 2012 Summit will feature educational sessions and presentations from the nation’s leading clean transportation experts on:
- Federal funding and incentives to promote alternative fuels, vehicles, and infrastructure.
- Successful alternative fuels and vehicle projects across the country; and
- Innovative state and local policies and programs that are advancing markets for cleaner fuels and vehicles.
The 2012 Energy Independence Summit is extremely important as we seek to maintain momentum for the clean transportation industry. As Congress and the Administration focus on reducing the deficit, all federal programs and tax incentives are under scrutiny and vulnerable to significant cuts. The Summit will provide an important opportunity to demonstrate the broad-based grassroots support among business leaders, state and local government officials, and community leaders for clean transportation energy policies that enhance energy security and create new jobs. In addition, since 2012 is an election year, the Summit will provide an opportunity to showcase to all candidates running for office how the federal investment in clean vehicles, fuels and infrastructure is reducing our dependence on oil and creating new economic opportunities in communities across America.
We look forward to seeing you in March at the Energy Independence Summit.

A Partnership to Drive Transportation Change
The Transportation Energy Partners (TEP) is a nationwide effort of Clean Cities coalitions and their partners to:
- diversify away from petroleum alone in the transportation sector,
- put advanced vehicle technologies to work to improve fuel economy and reduce unnecessary oil consumption,
- create green economy jobs in the U.S., and
- improve local air quality and health and curb global climate change.
America needs solutions to energy dependence today. Local and statewide Clean Cities coalitions are effective champions of energy independence with proven track records of developing projects to deploy alternative fuels and energy-saving vehicles and transportation technologies and conducting educational activities at the local level. Through our collective expertise and cohesive networks we can leverage real-world solutions now, provided we have the resources to get the job done.
