Today, September 13th, marks Drive Clean Colorado’s 31st anniversary 🎉 Our journey began in 1993 as the Denver Metro Clean Cities Coalition, one of the first coalitions designated under the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Clean Cities program. Now, over three decades later, we continue accelerating the equitable adoption of clean transportation across Colorado with the support of our stakeholders. Over the years, our impact has grown significantly, reducing over 130,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions last year alone, helping to improve air quality across the state. Thank you to our stakeholders and communities for being part of this journey!

Our team had a great time earlier this week with Forth and Black Hills Energy at the Rocky Ford Ride & Drive EV-ent! Over 50 people got behind the wheel to test drive an electric vehicle, and even more were able to experience EVs firsthand, asking questions about tax incentives, charging, and checking out the vehicles on showcase. Thank you to the Rocky Ford community for spending your Monday afternoon with us and making this event such a fun one! #RockyFord #Community #EVent #DriveElectric #DriveClean #Colorado #ElectricVehicle #RideAndDrive #FordLightning
