About this opportunity
The EPA's Clean Ports Program is offering a competitive grant opportunity to fund the transition to zero-emission (ZE) operations at U.S. ports. The program aims to reduce mobile source emissions of criteria pollutants, air toxics, and greenhouse gases through the purchase and deployment of ZE port equipment and infrastructure. Eligible applicants include port authorities, state/regional/local/tribal agencies with port jurisdiction, and private entities partnering with an eligible non-private entity. The evaluation criteria will focus on the anticipated emissions reductions, community benefits, and the applicant's capacity to implement the project successfully. The application deadline is May 28, 2024.
The Clean Ports Program funding totals up to $2.79 billion, with a minimum of $750 million reserved for projects in nonattainment areas. The program expects to award 32 to 90 grants or cooperative agreements, with per-project funding ranging from $50 million to $500 million depending on the application tier. The period of performance is up to 4 years, with an anticipated start date of December 1, 2024.
Synopsis
The EPA Office of Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ) is issuing this NOFO to announce the availability of funds and solicit applications from eligible entities to help ports nationwide transition to zero-emission (ZE) operations under the EPA's Clean Ports Program. The EPA's Clean Ports Program will fund ZE port equipment and infrastructure to reduce mobile source emissions (criteria pollutants, air toxics, and/or greenhouse gases) at United States ports, delivering cleaner air for communities across the country. The Clean Ports Program will also fund climate and air quality planning activities as part of a separate NOFO - including emissions inventories, strategy analysis, community engagement, and resiliency measure identification - that will build the capacity of port stakeholders to continue to reduce pollution and transition to ZE operations over time. This new funding opportunity, made possible by funding from the Inflation Reduction Act, builds on the EPA's Ports Initiative, an ongoing program that helps our nation's ports, a critical part of our infrastructure and supply chain, address public health and environmental impacts on surrounding communities.
