About the Chicago Area Clean Cities Coalition (CACC) CACC consists of over 200 Chicago area stakeholders representing federal, state, and local governments, corporations and small businesses, universities, and non-profit organizations. According to the CACC, their objective is to work with businesses, governments and individuals in implementing alternative fuels and vehicles to convert their fleets to "green fleets". Since alternative fuels have economic advantages, especially with lower fuel costs and government incentives, the Chicago area has experienced significant growth in the domestic fuels market.
