Resources for Communities</h1> <p>The Joint Office of Energy and Transportation (Joint Office) offers resources and provides technical assistance to communities at all stages of interest, planning, and deployment of zero-emission vehicle charging and refueling infrastructure.</p> <p>Communities across America are essential to the development of an electrified transportation system that is convenient, affordable, reliable, and safe. As the nation experiences the most significant transportation transformation in a century, coupled with innovative but unfamiliar approaches to zero-emission transportation, communities need support. The Joint Office is dedicated to partnering with communities to ensure the successful deployment of zero-emission vehicle charging and refueling infrastructure. Funding is critical to the success of efforts to deploy a network of electric vehicle chargers and zero-emission fueling infrastructure. The Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Discretionary Grant Program and the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program provide dedicated funding to help support the deployment of zero-emission vehicle charging and refueling infrastructure.</p> <h2 id="charging-and-fueling-infrastructure-discretionary-grant-program">Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Discretionary Grant Program</h2> <p>The <a href="https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/cfi/">CFI Discretionary Grant Program</a> from the Federal Highway Administration provides $2.5 billion through two $1.25 billion discretionary grant programs to strategically deploy publicly accessible EV charging and alternative fueling infrastructure in communities where people live and work and along designated alternative fuel corridors (AFCs):</p> <ul> <li><strong>Community Charging and Fueling Grants</strong>: This program will strategically deploy publicly accessible EV charging infrastructure and hydrogen, propane, and natural gas fueling infrastructure in urban and rural communities.</li> <li><strong>Alternative Fuel Corridor Grants</strong>: This program will strategically deploy publicly accessible EV charging infrastructure and hydrogen, propane, and natural gas fueling infrastructure along designated AFCs.</li> </ul> <p>These programs will ensure infrastructure deployments meet priorities such as increasing access in underserved and overburdened communities (also referred to as disadvantaged communities), supporting rural areas, building resilient infrastructure, addressing climate change, and improving AFC networks.</p> <p>The <a href="https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/cfi/grant_recipients/">CFI Grant Program has awarded $622.57 million</a> in grant funding to 47 applicants to strategically deploy publicly accessible electric vehicle charging and alternative fueling infrastructure in the places people live and work, in addition to along designated AFCs.</p> <p>Another resource to guide the buildout of community alternative fueling infrastructure is the <a href="https://afleet.es.anl.gov/infrastructure-emissions/">Alternative Fuel Life-Cycle Environmental and Economic Transportation (AFLEET) CFI Emissions Tool</a>. This resource can assess estimated emissions reductions from EV charging infrastructure and hydrogen, propane, and natural gas fueling infrastructure along designated AFCs.</p> <h2 id="national-electric-vehicle-infrastructure-formula-program">National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program</h2> <p>The <a href="/states#nevi">$5 billion NEVI Formula Program</a> provides dedicated funding to states to strategically deploy EV charging infrastructure and establish an interconnected network to facilitate data collection, access, and reliability.</p> <p>Under this program, each state is required to submit an annual EV Infrastructure Deployment Plan that describes how the state intends to use its apportioned NEVI Formula Program funds in accordance with federal guidance.</p> <h2 id="funding">Funding</h2> <p>Securing funding is critical to the success of efforts to deploy a network of electric vehicle chargers, zero-emission fueling infrastructure, and zero-emission transit and school buses.
