The overall goal of the Affordable Mobility Platform (AMP) project is to reduce the barriers to mobility options and electric vehicle (EV) adoption facing underserved communities, particularly residents of affordable housing. The project will demonstrate that shared EVs can become valuable, highly utilized, and self-sustaining community transportation assets where the needs of employees and residents of affordable housing developments are served by the same shared vehicles. Along with the deployment of EVs and EV infrastructure, AMP will conduct data analysis, education, and outreach that leverages real-world observations and lessons learned collected from these communities over the course of the project.

The objective of this project is to develop and execute a nationwide workplace charging program comprised of education, outreach, and technical assistance activities that enables a large-scale increase in workplace charging. The project will engage more than 2,000 employers and gain more than 650 employer commitments to adopt workplace charging programs and install charging ports at their workplaces with the end goal of catalyzing more than 3,500 electric vehicle charging port installations.

Leadership of Employers for Electrification Program (LEEP) is an equity-centered national workplace charging program with best practice certification. This program offers employers electric vehicle (EV) charging guidance and streamlines the process of logistical collaboration with industry suppliers. Forth leverages partnerships with leading key organizations nationwide, to implement regional employer-centered charging guidance. LEEP will engage thousands of workplaces in achieving the goal of installing at least 20,000 chargers across the United States in three years. This coordinated, user-friendly approach toward education, outreach, and technical assistance will encourage employers to make the necessary investment in EV charging.

The objective of the project is to deploy and demonstrate compressed natural gas (CNG) heavy-duty vehicles and infrastructure capable of greater than or equal to 25% reduction in tailpipe carbon dioxide emissions, greater than or equal to 10% reduction in mean time between failures (MTBFs), greater than or equal to 50% reduction in fuel costs, and less than or equal to 20% reduction in range when compared to a current fleet of diesel vehicles to facilitate the growth and expansion of CNG as a transportation fuel in Alaska’s industrial North Slope.

This project supports electric vehicle (EV) purchases, charging station installations, and outreach efforts to notify communities of these resources. The funds will help small businesses and rural cities accelerate their transition to EVs in Missouri and Kansas. The project includes eight partner businesses and municipalities operating within Kansas and Missouri environmental justice areas, opportunity zones, and other underserved areas. The project includes deployment as well as an innovative 15% cost share "overmatch" from its eight core funding recipients, which is leveraged to implement a small grants program for underserved communities. These grant recipients will be able to define project features guiding local benefit like installing public EV charging stations in parking lots and curbsides near multifamily residential complexes and retail businesses. The small grants program will place EV charging stations within underserved or rural areas that feel the effects of environmental justice issues. Diesel emissions from heavy-duty vehicles and off-road machinery contribute to early deaths, asthma rates, and family illness, keeping people away from jobs and school. Those are just some of the health and social impacts from diesel fumes that affect the community members the Metropolitan Energy Center serves. The project launched in March 2022.
