Jessica Wilcox joined the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services as Transportation Program Specialist and Granite State Clean Cities Coalition (GSCCC) Director in September, 2017. GSCCC is a collaboration of over 150 public and private stakeholders from all regions of New Hampshire working to reduce petroleum consumption in transportation.

GSCCC provides alternative fuel- and technology-neutral support to NH fleets, municipalities, and businesses through education and outreach, grants management, and event coordination. The Coalition also provides project planning and technical assistance to NH stakeholders that have adopted, or are exploring adoption, of alternative fuels (e.g., propane, natural gas, biodiesel), advanced technology vehicles (e.g., electric, hybrid), and other fuel-saving strategies.

Wilcox has 20+ years of experience in both the automotive industry and non-profit grants management. She holds degrees in early childhood education and broadcast communications.
