Reduction of Truck Emissions at Port Facilities

The Federal Highway Administration under the Department of Transportation administers the Reduction of Truck Emissions at Port Facilities program (CFDA 20.286), which funds studies and grants to reduce idling at port facilities, including through electrification of port operations, with a current application due date of June 22, 2026.

The program awards Project Grants to eligible entities under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The most recent competitive opportunity, posted May 19, 2026, will distribute up to $150 million in combined federal funding authorized across Fiscal Years 2023 through 2026, with no stated minimum or maximum award amount per recipient. The NOFO does not restrict awards by funding tier or prescribe typical award sizes; applicants should consult the published NOFO for specific eligibility constraints and evaluation criteria.

Eligible applicants are defined as "Other" in the opportunity posting; the source does not detail the specific entity types that qualify. The program focuses on port-level infrastructure and operations improvements rather than broader transportation research, emphasizing concrete emissions-reduction investments such as electrified equipment and reduced-idling systems at intermodal transfer facilities.

The June 22, 2026 deadline represents the current open solicitation under this CFDA line. The source does not provide a grant award portfolio with historical disbursement data, recent award examples, or award cadence trends, so recency and activity volume cannot be characterized beyond the current opportunity posting. Organizations pursuing this funding should verify eligibility status and review the full NOFO before application.
