“My Administration is committed to advancing the transition to a cleaner and healthier future for our environment benefiting all New Yorkers,” Governor Kathy Hochul said. “Our continued investments in electric vehicle infrastructure encourage more drivers to switch to electric, reducing pollution and emissions across the State and improving the health and well-being of our residents and communities.”
The Municipal Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Infrastructure Grant program administered by the State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) prioritizes clean transportation investments in communities most affected by pollution and climate change. The program includes a variable local match requirement based on the municipality’s median household income (MHI) and whether the ZEV infrastructure is located in a disadvantaged community, based on the disadvantaged communities criteria developed by the State’s Climate Justice Working Group. Of the awards announced today, approximately $885,000 were granted to municipalities located in disadvantaged communities in New York State.
