The Triangle Clean Cities Coalition was founded in 1999 and designated by the U.S. Department of Energy in 2001, joining an elite group of 100 member Clean Cities Coalitions. The Clean Cities program has saved nearly 8 billion gallons of petroleum since its inception in 1993. 

Triangle Clean Cities has worked both independently and alongside other coalitions throughout North Carolina to further our initiatives. Our staff assists Coalition members to reach their goals by providing grant funding, technical assistance, and networking opportunities to advance affordable, domestic transportation fuels, energy efficient mobility systems, and other fuel-saving technologies and practices.

Triangle Clean Cities is a program within Triangle J Council of Governments (TJCOG). The COG serves a diverse seven-county region, promoting collaboration among local governments, stakeholders, and partners, tackling challenges that cross jurisdictional lines.
