At Maine Clean Communities, we connect people, partners, and projects to reduce petroleum use and advance clean transportation solutions across Maine. As part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Clean Cities and Communities network, we support communities in transitioning to more sustainable, efficient, and equitable mobility options.

​​

Our work spans a variety of programs and initiatives that help public agencies, businesses, and residents reduce emissions, save money, and improve access to cleaner transportation. Whether it's supporting electric vehicle adoption, planning smarter charging infrastructure, or decarbonizing marine transportation, we work to make clean transportation practical and possible across Maine.

• EV Lending Program – Helping municipalities and organizations test electric vehicles in real-world conditions before they buy.
