The U.S. Department of Transportation announced grants totaling $635 million to enhance clean transportation infrastructure in multiple states and tribal areas. The grants cover the installation of over 11,500 electric vehicle charging ports and hydrogen/natural gas fueling infrastructure. Notable recipients include the Cherokee Nation and City of Troy, focusing on community EV charging projects. Moreover, funds will support the construction of a hydrogen fueling station in Texas and alternative fueling infrastructure along interstate corridors. These initiatives are part of a broader effort to promote accessibility and equity in transportation while creating new job opportunities. The grants, sourced from the bipartisan infrastructure law and National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program, aim to advance the transition to clean transportation, aligning with the Biden administration's commitment to sustainable mobility. The positive sentiment is evident in remarks by Jeff Marootian, emphasizing the strategic federal investments and their contribution to a modern energy workforce. The article highlights the increasing market share of EVs in the U.S., with predictions indicating a significant growth by 2030, reflecting a promising future for clean transportation.
