C5 Receives Award from GM

General Motors (GM) awarded $500 to C5 their work in advancing alternative fuels as part of the company's 2008 Clean Cities Rewards Program. The award were presented at the Alternative Fuels and Vehicles National Conference and Expo in May. Fifty-six coalitions received awards totalling $84,000 based on E85 vehicle sales and infrastructure installation, participation in GM-sponsored functions, and involvement in GM-certified alternative fuel vehicle dealers.

The Central Coast Clean Cities Coalitions (C5) is a partnership of public and private agencies and businesses who want to protect air quality on the Central Coast. Our goal is to provide a network of cleaner alternative fuels to area fleet operators helping them achieve local, state, and federal vehicle emission standards.

C5 operates primarily within San Luis Obispo County, CA, including the communities of Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, Cambria, Cayucos, Grover Beach, Los Osos, Morro Bay, Nipomo, Oceano, Pismo Beach, San Luis Obispo, San Miguel, Santa Maria and Templeton.

In August 2006, C5 received official "Clean City" designation from the United States Department of Energy. A critical part maintaining our designation is the alternative fuel vehicle count - if you are the owner of an alternative fueled vehicle we would like to hear from you.
