(ACFC), a participant in the U.S. Department of Energy's Clean Cities Program. This program promotes the use of alternative fuels (AF) and alternative fueled vehicles (AFV) to expand the market, create job opportunities, improve air quality, and to reduce dependence of foreign sources of energy. ACFC was founded in 2002 as an Alabama nonprofit corporation. ACFC and its members and stakeholders worked to provide public and private individuals and entities with information on the benefits of AFVs and to identify and implement AFV uses and alternative fuel infrastructure projects. The use of alternative fuels was significant in Alabama in 2023 and provided a reduction in the use of petroleum of more than 18.4 million gallons of gasoline gallon equivalent (GGE) and 158,800 tons of greenhouse gas emissions. This effort was led primarily by state and local governments with assistance from the ACFC. During 2023, alternative fuels (E85 Ethanol, B20 Biodiesel, and Propane) continued to be included on the state fuel contract. In addition to being available to state agencies, these alternative fuels can be purchased by local governments from approved vendors in all 67 counties in Alabama. ACFC programs and activities laid the foundation for additional alternative fuel infrastructure projects and increased the availability of cleaner burning fuels to the public in Alabama during calendar year 2023 and beyond. Increasing availability of these fuels will improve air quality. In addition, other potential projects were identified for future funding and/or technical assistance. ACFC also led an effort to assist the state in developing a statewide Electric Vehicle (EV) Infrastructure Plan. This plan was used by the state to determine priorities and criteria needed to develop a statewide grant program to install EV chargers around the state. These programs and activities serve to lessen the burdens of government and also further a charitable purpose by improving the environment, which promotes social welfare. 212413 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 X Hollie Johnson 2052233823 200 Century Park South Ste 112 Birmingham AL 35226 X Mike Cole Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Waymond Jackson Secretary & Assistant 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Cedric Daniels Chairman 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Julie Dozier Treasurer 20.00 X 7200 0 0 Michael Staley Executive Director 20.00 X 0 180000 0 7200 180000 0 0 0 0 1 Chain Link Solutions 1907 AL Seier Road Hoover AL 35226 Consulting services 180000 1 Management consulting 541610 178989 178989 178989 25911 25911 204900 178989 0 25911 X 15000 15000 11200 11200 6500 6500 196989 196989 427 350 77 1053 1053 6451 6451 74 74 Other expenses 724 724 238418 212413 26005 0 3676 7228 176535 65981 44857 44757 1935 1826 735588 837648 1771 1771 964362 959211 18706 18706 0 X 945656 959211 945656 959211 964362 959211 -33518 53101 -6028 0 X 1 X 0 0 0 12600 12600 12600 0 0 X Part X, Line 2: As of December 31, 2023 the organization has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. 0 Coalition for Regional Transportation 505 20th St N Ste 200 Birmingham AL 35203 263510979 501(c)(3) 15000 0 To support transportation planning. 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Michael Staley Executive Director 0 0 0 0 0 180000 0 0 0 0 0 180000 0 0 Form 990, Part VIII, Lina 1a Compensation for services rendered as the Executive Director paid to Chain Link Solutions, LLC.
