Electric utility trucks (city of amity)

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $180,000 through the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to the Oregon Department of Transportation on May 19, 2025, for the purchase of two electric light-duty pickup trucks by the City of Amity. This award supports the City of Amity's fleet electrification initiative by funding the acquisition of electric utility vehicles, aligning with the program's emphasis on alternative fuel infrastructure deployment and transportation sustainability improvements. The City of Amity serves as the sub-grantee responsible for procurement and deployment of the electric vehicles.

The Highway Planning and Construction program provides federal financial assistance to state departments of transportation for a range of highway-related projects, including electric vehicle infrastructure and equipment to support the transition toward cleaner transportation alternatives. This formula grant represents targeted funding within Oregon's broader transportation infrastructure development efforts, with ODOT serving as the state administrator and pass-through entity for federal highway funds allocated under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) authorization.
