The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded the City of Milwaukee a $3,748,910 Project Grant under the Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Program (CFDA 66.049) established by the Inflation Reduction Act. The funding will enable the city to replace eight Class 7 diesel trucks with zero-emission vehicles, build charging infrastructure to support fleet electrification, and provide workforce training for vehicle maintenance and operations. Key project activities include purchasing and installing up to 50 Level 2 chargers and two DC Level 3 fast chargers, and delivering training for electricians and vehicle maintenance personnel. The expected outcomes are reduced greenhouse gas and criteria pollutant emissions, lower fuel consumption and maintenance costs, improved air quality, and increased public awareness of zero-emission vehicle technology. The grant period is from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027, with the goal of benefiting disadvantaged communities in Milwaukee through cleaner air and healthier environments.
