The Urban Consortium for Technology Initiatives is an organized coalition that brings together 46 of America's largest cities and urban counties to focus on how applied research, advanced management systems and technology can improve urban services. The Urban Consortium Energy Task Force (UCETF) has a special focus on the improvement of urban energy management and technology. Defined to meet both the needs of cities and counties as well as national priorities as recommended from USDOE's Energy Security analyses, major topics within the program are: (1) Electricity (load and conservation) management; (2) Waste management; (3) Energy, economic development and environment and (4) Alternative vehicular fuels and technologies. The UCETF has well established partnerships with USDOE and among its city and county members. Major efforts have been placed on the expansion of these partnerships with private industry, state governments and academia. Effective partnerships with energy utilities and other organizations began for 1988--89 projects for alternative vehicle fuels, electricity management and sustainable communities. The UCETF is a mature organization with a ten year history and a solid record of accomplishments. To better transfer these accomplishments to benefit other cities and counties, the UCETF program places a major focus on technology transfer through specifically designed projects, print and electronic media, and a series of workshops and conferences. The summary contains short descriptions of the projects and participants in the eleventh year (1989--90) program of the UCETF.
