GWRCCC Launches the NOVA Clean Fuels Advisory Board

The Greater Washington Region Clean Cities Coalition (GWRCCC) is excited to announce the launch of the Northern Virginia Clean Fuels Advisory Board (NOVA-CFAB) project—and we invite YOU to participate!
Northern Virginia, often shortened to NOVA, includes the counties of Arlington, Fairfax,Loudoun, and Prince William, as well as the independent cities of Alexandria, Falls Church, Fairfax, Manassas, and Manassas Park. NOVA-CFAB is aligned with GWRCCC’s Mid-Atlantic Electrification Partnership (MAEP) and Mid-Atlantic Clean Cities Expansion (MACCE) Program. The MACCE project expanded the footprint of GWRCCC north to include Baltimore and now west to include NOVA. GWRCCC’s Designated Market Area (DMA) is now larger than New York City.

GWRCCC is seeking passionate and experienced leaders to help the planning committee develop strategies that advance clean fuels and sustainable transportation throughout NOVA.

  • Reduce air pollution and greenhouse gases

  • Advance clean fuels and vehicle technology deployment

  • Promote sustainable and equitable transportation
