Drive Clean Colorado Named the Best Non-Profit in Southeast Region – Best of The Colorado Sun 2023
We are honored to be voted “The Best Non-Profit” in Colorado’s Southeast Region as part of the Best of The Colorado Sun 2023. This recognition was voted on by The Colorado Sun’s readers, who were asked to select their favorite businesses and organizations from across the state.
In the Southeast Region, Drive Clean Colorado has been hard at work alongside communities in the area to accelerate equitable clean transportation. Our local initiatives include support and training for fleets and communities implementing clean vehicles and infrastructure, coaching on grants and incentives for electric vehicles and chargers, and education events about electric vehicles for consumers. We collaborate with local partners on innovative ways to address the region’s unique transportation challenges, and with boots-on-the-ground Regional Coordinators, DCC has provided resources and support in grant applications, making it easier for organizations in Southeast Colorado to secure funding for clean transportation and infrastructure.
Thank you to the readers of The Colorado Sun for their recognition of this work. If you have any questions or would like to get in touch with your Regional Coordinators, please reach out to them using the contact information provided below for support in your regions’ clean transportation work.
