D-3 districtwide: various locations along state HWY's throught district 3- install, operate & maintain (5 YRS) electric vehicle charging stations

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) a formula grant totaling $1,313,011.45 on September 25, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). The grant funds the installation, operation, and maintenance of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across eight highway districts in Minnesota for a five-year period, with an ultimate completion date of September 24, 2035. Charging stations will be strategically located at various sites within five-mile clusters along US 2, US 10, US 169, and Minnesota State Highways 23, 210, and 371.

This project represents a modernization initiative within the Highway Planning and Construction program, which supports a comprehensive range of transportation infrastructure improvements, including multimodal transportation network development and emerging infrastructure priorities. The EV charging infrastructure aligns with federal policy objectives to advance transportation electrification and support evolving mobility needs along major transportation corridors, with MnDOT's Office of Financial Management serving as the implementing division responsible for project execution and oversight.
