Mission
Green Driving America is committed to helping drivers make transportation choices in their lives that will benefit the planet and themselves. To achieve this goal, our primary emphasis is educating on clean transportation by showing the myriad benefits of low- to zero-emission vehicles. A secondary benefit is to improve driving behavior by showing an array of smart driving practices in internal combustion engine vehicles. And we provide an overview on alternatives to driving.

The Clean Transportation Path
The Clean Transportation Path http://greendrivingamerica.org/tctp.html is a Green Driving America project that works with high school STEM educators and driver educators to supplement their classroom instruction with guest-speaking presentations showing students the benefits of low- to zero-emission vehicles and optionally of executing smart driving practices in gas-powered vehicles. As of January, 2023, presentations are funded in all of Vermont and in the Upper Valley portion of New Hampshire; at this time, funding is being sought to expand presentations to additional New England states, Upstate New York, and Oregon.
