The Bronx Is Breathing: Reimagining a Cleaner Hunts Point

The objective of this project is to engage with business and community stakeholders in Hunts Point, a historically disadvantaged neighborhood in the South Bronx, to develop a community-driven electric vehicle (EV) charging deployment plan to guide the installation of chargers across the neighborhood. Since Hunts Point is both a thriving community and a trucking nexus due to the neighborhood’s produce markets, the “Hunts Point Electrification Roadmap” that the project develops will address the multimodal charging needs of Hunts Point’s residents and its businesses. In addition to the installation of EV charging infrastructure, the project will carry out significant community engagement around the benefits of EVs to expand EVs’ market share in Hunts Point. The project is lead by Empire Clean Cities.
