Summary of CEC Webinar Draft Solicitation Transit ZEV Infrastructure Workshop

On April 10, the California Energy Commission (CEC) Staff hosted a pre-solicitation workshop to solicit feedback on a draft concept for Zero-Emission Transit Fleet Infrastructure Deployment. CEC Staff has released a “Draft Solicitation Concept” document, which details the concept under consideration for a competitive grant solicitation to be issued by the CEC’s Clean Transportation Program. This solicitation will provide capital assistance for make-ready equipment upgrades and zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) electric vehicle charging or hydrogen refueling infrastructure to support the roll-out of medium- and heavy-duty (MD/HD) zero-emission transit bus fleets. The goal is to fund the infrastructure for one to two large-scale transit projects, for a transit bus fleet conversion of at least 50 buses.
