Unique in comparison to other Metropolitan Planning Organizations, the North Florida TPO has created two separate non-profit entities - the North Florida Clean Fuels Coalition (2016) and Smart North Florida (2020).
It's hard to believe that six years have passed since our coalition received official designation from the U.S. Department of Energy. We've invested in clean fuels vehicles and infrastructure and our stakeholders have reported 141,121 TONS of greenhouse gas emissions reduced from 2016 through 2021.
Coalitions must be re-designated approximately every five years to ensure program guidelines are met. Designation benefits include access to informational resources and funding. Designated coalitions are required to provided annual reporting of activities, results and metrics. We expect to wrap up our re-designation process early this fall.
