Under the award, H-GAC engages key stakeholders, provides technical assistance and outreach within the coalition's territory, and tracks and reports critical program and performance metrics to foster locally driven transportation energy choices that leverage domestic energy resources and innovative mobility technologies. The work supports the Department of Energy Transportation Technologies Office's objectives to enhance national energy security, support economic prosperity, and improve air quality through collaborative partnerships with public and private stakeholders. Performance runs through March 31, 2027, with work performed in Houston, Texas.
