The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $55,386,000 Clean Ports Program (CFDA 66.051) Project Grant to the Port of San Francisco to improve air quality and reduce pollution through the deployment of zero-emission equipment and infrastructure. The key activities funded include the purchase and deployment of one new zero-emission electric ferry vessel and two shore power charging systems, as well as zero-emission technology training, community engagement, and workforce development. Subawards will be provided to the San Francisco Bay Ferry to manage the electric ferry and workforce development, and to the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission to deliver behind-the-meter infrastructure for the shore power systems. The expected outcomes include reduced CO2 emissions, fuel consumption, and noise, as well as community health benefits, workforce development, and increased stakeholder awareness.
