About the SCC
The purposes of the Southeastern Corridor Council include:
- Fully support DOT and FHWA Alternative Fuel Corridor objectives
- Facilitate visually consistent DOT/FWHA Alternative Fuel Corridor Signage Programs across all our states, included for both Identification (corridor) and Directional (wayfinding) Signage
- Establish regular calls and meetings with respective state DOT officials to develop criteria for developing effective Alternative Fuel signage programs
The SCC is made up of coordinators and other staff from Clean Cities coalitions across these states, from Virginia to Louisiana; state DOT representatives from those same states; federal DOT/FHWA representatives; and Trev Hall the Southeast Regional Manager for the U.S. DOE Clean Cities Program.
Participating States Include:
Arkansas
Mississippi
Louisiana
Kentucky
Tennessee
