Communities in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties that are interested in applying for funding are encouraged to attend an informational webinar on Thursday, March 12.
Earlier this month, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) launched the Community Charging phase of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, continuing the Commonwealth’s role as the national leader in the NEVI program. Through the Community Charging funding rounds, the Shapiro Administration will direct $100 million in federal funding to build public EV charging stations in Pennsylvania communities.
Community Charging funding will be made available by region, beginning with the southeastern region, which includes Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties. Local transportation planning agencies will determine the specific locations within the region that are prioritized for investment, but all publicly available locations within the region are eligible to apply. Approximately $34 million will be available for projects in these counties.
“The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission applauds PennDOT’s leadership in expanding community charging facilities throughout southeastern Pennsylvania,” said Ariella Maron, DVRPC’s executive director. “These investments enable individuals from rural areas to the urban core to get to where they need to go efficiently and confidently.”
PennDOT is hosting an informational webinar for the southeast region on Thursday, March 12, at 1:00 pm. Register to attend. Additionally, if your organization is interested in being part of a NEVI project, please consider completing the NEVI Interested Organizations Survey.
