Purchase electric fleet vehicles (city of hood river)

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $267,985 through the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to the Oregon Department of Transportation on August 11, 2025, for the purchase of three light-duty electric fleet vehicles. This Formula Grant supports Oregon's transportation infrastructure modernization and sustainability objectives by enabling the state to acquire zero-emission vehicles for operational use. The award reflects the FHWA's broader commitment to multimodal transportation improvements and environmental compliance under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act authorization.

The Oregon Department of Transportation passed through the funding to the City of Hood River as a sub-grantee to execute the vehicle procurement. The City of Hood River, a local government entity in Hood River, Oregon, will utilize the $267,985 allocation to purchase the three electric fleet vehicles, supporting the municipality's transition to cleaner transportation operations. This sub-awarded project aligns with the Highway Planning and Construction program's eligible activities for multimodal transportation network development and infrastructure improvements.
