This federal Project Grant award, provided by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Program (CFDA 66.049), will provide $30,361,175 in funding to the New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) to replace non-zero-emission Class 6 and 7 heavy-duty vehicles with new zero-emission vehicles. The goal is to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in EPA Region 2.
The funded activities include replacing eligible internal combustion engine vehicles with zero-emission vehicles, purchasing and installing charging and fueling equipment, and providing workforce development and training to support the maintenance, charging, fueling, and operation of the new zero-emission vehicles. Subaward activities will also include the installation of direct current fast chargers and workforce training. The expected outcomes include reduced emissions, cost savings, expanded access to charging infrastructure, a trained workforce, and improved air quality in the communities where the vehicles operate.
