The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $182,073,099 Project Grant to the Maryland Port Administration (MPA) under the Clean Ports Program (CFDA 66.051) established by the Inflation Reduction Act. The purpose of this award is to fund the procurement of new zero-emission vehicles and equipment, as well as the associated charging infrastructure, to improve air quality surrounding the Port of Baltimore and adjacent disadvantaged communities. Key activities include purchasing zero-emission on-road and off-road equipment, scrapping internal combustion vehicles, upgrading electrical infrastructure at the Dundalk and Seagirt Marine Terminals, and conducting community engagement. Expected outcomes include reductions in emissions and diesel fuel use, sufficient power capacity for zero-emission equipment, and increased community involvement in MPA's environmental initiatives. No subawards are included in this assistance agreement.
