A number of government agencies have announced initiatives intended to make transportation more climate-friendly, timed to coincide with Earth Day last Thursday.
New York is making $2.8 million available to help municipalities purchase or lease zero-emission vehicles for fleet use and to install public charging stations.
Most of it - $2.5 million - is available for municipalities to install hydrogen filling station components or electric vehicle chargers in locations that maximize public access. The maximum grant amount for a single location is $250,000, and $500,000 for a single municipality.
