The objectives of this Native-led public-private partnership project are to address electric vehicle (EV) barriers for Tribal members in the western Great Lakes region and demonstrate EV charging equipment in Tribal communities providing equitable access to clean, affordable transportation in rural, underserved Tribal communities. Project objectives will be accomplished through community engagement and planning; the installation of approximately 15 Level 2 charging equipment in strategic community locations; working with regional utilities to facilitate direct current fast charging station installation in priority locations for Tribes; collecting and analyzing data to quantify community benefits; and a robust education and outreach effort reaching Tribal leaders, potential site hosts, utilities, and other stakeholders. The project will take place in Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. The project will involve three Clean Cities Coalitions: Minnesota Clean Cities, Wisconsin Clean Cities, and Michigan Clean Cities.

This project will develop a replicable regional Commercial ZEV Corridor Infrastructure Deployment Plan to accelerate freight decarbonization by lowering the total cost of freight per mile by guiding the design, location, and scaling of reliable charging and hydrogen fueling infrastructure in the right way, at the right places, and right times. The strategic planning effort will spur the deployment of commercial medium- and heavy-duty (MHD) zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) infrastructure through the development of an East Coast Commercial ZEV Corridor.

The project will demonstrate how strategically located infrastructure can leverage existing real estate assets of the goods movement network to increase the range of medium- and heavy-duty trucks and provideaccess to fleets at each stage of the supply chain. The project will also prepare cities to plan for infrastructure deployments and ensure community-wide benefits from incentive packages.

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.

The objective of the project is to deploy an innovative study approach forecast electric charging demand at traffic stops on freight corridors across the Northeast (ME, MA, NH, VT, RI, CT, NY, PA and NJ). This will then serve as the basis for developing a Regional Charging plan for an infrastructure deployment roadmap. The project is being lead by National Grid and involves five Clean Cities Coalitions: Clean Communities of Central New York, Eastern Pennsylvania Clean Transportation Alliance, New Jersey Clean Cities, Greater New Haven Clean Cities, and Vermont Clean Cities.

The objective of this project is to engage residents and businesses in 6-8 neighborhoods in Justice 40 regions of Sacramento County in a collaborative effort to define the community benefits of electric vehicle (EV) charging, identify neighborhood sites for mobility hubs, and install electric vehicle charging equipment in alignment with community priorities.

The objective of this project, Logistics Decarbonization in Strategic Environmental Justice Areas (LODESTAR), seeks to demonstrate and document the innovative use case for independent contractors to adopt electric delivery vans that serve urban, suburban and rural environmental justice (EJ) areas and provide a holistic solution to distribution center electrification that incorporates electrification of both the freight and distribution activity. LODESTAR will uplift EJ and disadvantaged communities through the Last Mile Leadership (LML) scholarship program that will invest in students and businesses who wish to study or deploy clean transportation.

The project objective is to engage and electrify Alaskan rural communities in multiple energy regions. The team will designate hub communities based on their proximity to and utilization by rural disadvantaged communities. Targeted outreach efforts will begin in these hub communities, with the intent of providing the benefits of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) to all surrounding rural communities. A minimum of 40% of all EVSE will be located directly in disadvantaged communities. The recipient will work with the communities to develop local plans for siting and deploy 10-36 Level 2 and/or Direct Current Fast Charging charging stations. The recipient will conduct community outreach to determine which communities are interested in installing and operating EVSE. The recipient will develop and implement a method for project selection.

The objectives of this project are to engage and collaborate with disadvantaged community stakeholders in the planning for, installation of, and deployment of electric vehicle chargers (EVSE) and clean mobility solutions; and from these experiences, to develop best practices for improved future electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure investments in disadvantaged communities.

The objective of the South San Joaquin Valley Zero Emissions Vehicle Talent Pipeline project is to develop a workforce talent pipeline to support the installation, operations, and maintenance of electric vehicle charging infrastructure and emerging charging technologies including wireless inductive charging, and hydrogen fueling stations. The project will provide workers transitioning from oil-and-gas jobs and participants from traditionally under-represented and underserved/Justice 40 communities with training and pathways to union and well-paying jobs in clean transportation. In doing so, the project will aid the transition to a new clean energy transportation sector in the South San Joaquin Valley.
