Funding Program Goals
1) supplement, not supplant, necessary private sector investment
2) complement existing Federal programs
3) facilitate broad public access to a national charging and alternative fuel infrastructure network to accelerate the adoption of zero emissions vehicles
4) implement Justice404 objectives, lower transportation costs, and increase economic opportunity
5) advance job quality, workforce development, and workforce equity
6) reduce greenhouse gas and vehicle-related emissions
Funds available under this notice will provide crucial support for the full buildout of the Nation’s electrified and alternative fuel corridors (supplementing funds from the NEVI Formula Program) and can fill in critical infrastructure gaps to help meet current or anticipated demand for corridor charging or alternative fueling infrastructure. By encouraging the adoption and expansion in use of alternative fuels, CFI Program investments have the potential to significantly address the transportation sector’s outsized contributions to climate change. Currently, the transportation sector is both the largest source of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions, and is increasingly vulnerable because of the higher temperatures, more frequent and intense precipitation, and sea level rise associated with the changing climate.
