Due Sept 30th: West Coast Collaborative Alternative Fuel Funding Survey

To assess customer satisfaction with EPA Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) funding opportunities, and in support of the West Coast Collaborative Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Corridor Coalition (WCC AFICC), WCC AFICC developed a survey that seeks information from eligible grant recipients and sub-recipients on awareness of and satisfaction with DERA grant programs, as well as prospective alternative fuel infrastructure investment needs for medium and heavy-duty (MHD) vehicle and equipment operations in the west. The survey requests information on proposed alternative fuel stations, including funding assistance needs. Submitted data will be used to determine how well existing and proposed grant funding aligns with customer needs for MHD alternative fuel infrastructure investment. We will use this information to evaluate how to improve grant funding resources to better meet the needs of our customers.

On August 10, 2021, the Senate voted on a bipartisan basis to advance vital legislation to modernize the nation’s public infrastructure and empower economic growth into the future. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act includes a full five-year surface transportation reauthorization, which was the product of thoughtful, consensus-based negotiations in the Senate Commerce and Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committees.
