Federal Funding Programs that Support Alternative Fuel Corridor Implementation and Decarbonization of the Long-Haul Trucking Industry

The document outlines federal grants and tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) to support the deployment of electric vehicle (EV) charging and hydrogen fueling infrastructure. It details specific funding categories including charging/fueling, supply chain development, emissions monitoring, and state planning, while highlighting active zero-emission freight corridor projects along I-95, I-80, and I-10. The guide also provides a three-phase strategic framework for states to establish priorities, communicate with stakeholders, and monitor performance to maximize the use of these federal resources.

• Alternative fuel corridors (AFCs) are essential for decarbonizing the long-haul trucking industry, which accounted for over 60% of U.S. commercial freight moving between 100 and 2,000 miles in 2021.
• The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has funded several zero-emission vehicle corridor planning projects, including a project along I-95 from Georgia to New Jersey coordinated by CALSTART, a project for the I-80 Midwest corridor crossing Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio coordinated by Cummins Inc., and a hydrogen corridor from Houston to Los Angeles along I-10 coordinated by GTI Energy.
