This Project Grant award of $801,851,891 from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Ports Program (CFDA 66.051) is designed to fund the deployment of zero-emissions port equipment and associated infrastructure at the Port of New York and New Jersey. Key activities include: Replacing diesel-powered material handling equipment with battery-electric equipment, installing electric vehicle charging infrastructure, installing shore power connections for marine vessels, replacing diesel engines on a cement hauler barge with electric power, implementing a voucher incentive program for zero-emissions material handling equipment/infrastructure, and a voucher incentive program for zero-emissions drayage trucks. The anticipated deliverables include electric forklifts, buses, terminal tractors, container handlers, gantry cranes, offroad tractors, and cement hauler engines, along with upgraded electrical infrastructure and shore power connections. The project aims to reduce greenhouse gas and other air pollutants, improve air quality and health benefits, and create additional jobs in the port and surrounding communities. The primary awardee is the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which will also manage subawards to implement the various equipment replacement and infrastructure deployment activities. The project period runs from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2028.
