D-4 districtwide: various locations along state HWY's throught district 4- install, operate & maintain (5 YRS) electric vehicle charging stations

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) a Formula Grant of $5.2 million under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on September 25, 2025. This award supports the installation, operation, and maintenance of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at various locations within five-mile clusters along major state and federal highways in District 4, including US Routes 10, 12, 59, and 75, and Minnesota State Highways 55 and 210. The project will be executed over a ten-year period with an ultimate completion date of September 24, 2035.

The primary deliverables consist of EV charging infrastructure development and long-term operational support across multiple dispersed sites within District 4. By establishing charging stations at strategic highway locations, this initiative supports the federal transportation policy objective of modernizing transportation infrastructure to accommodate electric vehicle adoption and enhance multimodal transportation network capabilities. The formula grant funding reflects federal investment in emerging transportation infrastructure priorities aligned with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act authorization framework that governs FHWA assistance under CFDA 20.205.
