The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded the City of Atlanta $2,376,203.00 through the Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles (CHDV) Program (CFDA 66.049) under the Inflation Reduction Act. The funding will support the replacement of 7 eligible internal combustion engine Class 6 and 7 heavy-duty vehicles, such as service trucks, street sweepers, and refuse haulers, with comparable zero-emission electric vehicles. The project will also facilitate the purchase, installation, operation, and maintenance of associated charging infrastructure, as well as provide workforce development and training for fleet services staff on the new zero-emission vehicles. Key expected outcomes include expanding the zero-emission fleet at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, showcasing leadership in emission reductions and air quality improvements across the City of Atlanta's operations, and meaningful community engagement in the project design and implementation.
