The meeting on electric charging stations was held on the 3rd. Thanks to eTec we had a chance to catch up on the latest plans, and even get a peek at the configuration of the new charging stations that will be installed here in Arizona.
Unlike the EV-1 program, there will be thousands of stations installed in the state -- initially there will be more charging stations than plug-in electric vehicles. Many of the locations have been specified -- and eTec would like your input as where others will be located. We will soon have the application form posted as well as an overview ot the sites that have allready been selected. A review of the meeting slides will also be posted ________________________________________________________ VSCCC will skip the August Stakeholders meeting and hold in on Sept 2.

The Clean Cities Program was created by the federal Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPACT) to support voluntary efforts by government and business to reduce our countries dependence on foreign oil. There are now over 80 Coalitions nationwide committed to increasing the number of alternative fuel vehicles and amount of alternative transportation fuel consumed in their region. In July 2002, after a brief period of inactivity, stakeholders representing local industry and government regrouped and began the process of reorganizing and refocusing the Clean Cities organization in Maricopa County. The reorganized and reenergized "Valley of the Sun" Clean Cities Coalition emerged with a new strategic plan (link to goals/objectives page) and vision for cleaner air and a future less dependent on foreign petroleum.
