Vale infrastructure

This federal Project Grant award from the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) New England Region under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) provides $3,968,222.67 to the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) to acquire 10 electric vehicle charging stations at Boston Logan International Airport. The project aims to reduce airport ground emissions, improve air quality, and decrease the use of conventional fuels at the airport, which is located in a designated non-attainment and maintenance area under the Clean Air Act. Upon completion, the project will generate airport emission reduction credits that can be used to offset future airport development emissions. This voluntary effort contributes to regional efforts to meet national ambient air quality standards.
