Oregon, California, and Washington are set to benefit from a significant federal investment of $102 million to propel the use of zero-emission trucks along Interstate 5. This funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation will enable the creation of a network of charging and fueling stations catering to battery and hydrogen-fuel cell semitrucks. The initiative, proposed by transportation agencies from the three states, will see the development of at least 34 medium and heavy-duty electric vehicle charging stations and five hydrogen fueling stations spanning 1,400 miles from San Diego to Seattle. The project comes as a response to the pressing issue of transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions, with medium and heavy-duty trucks contributing to nearly 30% of the U.S.'s emissions. The focus on the West Coast corridor aims to tackle this environmental challenge by strategically locating infrastructure at key freight hubs. Apart from the main project, additional funding will support local initiatives, including the installation of EV chargers in Albany and the implementation of the Neighbors Charging Up program in the northern Willamette Valley. The latter, led by the city of Tualatin and involving 16 neighboring cities, plans to deploy 1,000 EV charging ports. Notably, the program targets equitable access by prioritizing installations in underserved neighborhoods and public spaces. Overall, the funding injection signifies a positive step towards reducing emissions and promoting sustainable transportation practices in the West Coast region.
