Silver trolley electrification van purchase (silverton)

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) a Formula Grant of $360,000 on July 2, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to support the Silver Trolley Electrification Van Purchase project in Silverton, Oregon. This award funds the procurement and deployment of two wheelchair-accessible electric vans for the City of Silverton, representing an investment in multimodal transportation infrastructure and electric vehicle adoption within the state's public transit network.

As a Formula Grant administered through the FHWA's established funding mechanisms, this award reflects the federal government's commitment to supporting state-led transportation initiatives that enhance accessibility and advance alternative fuel infrastructure. The project aligns with the Highway Planning and Construction program's broad scope, which encompasses highway-related improvements, multimodal transportation enhancements, and electric vehicle infrastructure deployment. ODOT, as the designated state transportation agency, serves as the recipient and administrator of these federal funds in partnership with the local municipality of Silverton.
