Supporting Organizations
A supporting organization in the context of clean transportation refers to a group, entity, or network that assists with the planning, promotion, and implementation of sustainable transportation initiatives.
These organizations may not directly operate transportation services but instead provide resources, funding, technical expertise, advocacy, education, or logistical support to stakeholders in the clean transportation ecosystem. If you’re here and this sounds like you see the steps below.

Step 1: Provide Tools, Resources, and Connections
- Offer clear, user-friendly templates for vehicle assessments, infrastructure planning, and grant applications.
- Include case studies and funding guides specific to rural and suburban settings. For example, here are links to rural EV case studies and a report done by Rural Climate Partnership laying out the overlooked climate and financial burden on rural America.
Step 2: Facilitate Funding Navigation
Simplify access to funding opportunities with centralized databases or regular updates on grant deadlines and eligibility.
Step 3: Promote Collaboration
- Encourage networking and knowledge-sharing across regions to replicate successes and avoid common pitfalls.
- Host regular forums or webinars for updates on technology and policy changes.
Step 4: Prioritize Real-World Applications
Support hands-on training and pilot demonstrations to showcase the practicality and benefits of alternative fuels and EV adoption.
