The District has $10 million in funds for the Clean Vehicle Fueling Infrastructure Program. The Clean Vehicle Fueling Infrastructure Program provides incentive funding for new stations, conversion of existing stations, and expansion of existing stations for hydrogen fuel, and electric battery charging stations for heavy-duty vehicles. This program will support the development and implementation of private-use fueling infrastructure for hydrogen fuel cell and electric battery powered zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles.
