ALLENTOWN, July 15 – Newly secured funding of $60,423 from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s Alternative Fuels Incentive Grant Program will support the Allentown municipal fleet EV charging project, state Rep. Josh Siegel announced today.
Siegel said the funding for the project will go toward the installation of eight Level 2 chargers for use by city inspection and codes vehicles. The project will service the municipal fleet the city is purchasing with the AFIG grant awarded in 2024.
“Lower emissions is part of the multipart equation to stride toward better air quality in our communities,” said Siegel. “This funding will result in cleaner fuel transportation infrastructure, allowing the robust deployment of electric delivery trucks, passenger vehicles, semi-trailer trucks and more across our commonwealth and specifically in Allentown. I was proud to work to secure this funding in the pathway to cleaner air and better health.”
DEP’s Alternative Fuels Incentive Grant Program offers grant funding for clean, alternative fuel projects in Pennsylvania and investment in Pennsylvania’s energy sector. AFIG was established under Act 166 of 1992 and is administered by DEP through its Energy Programs Office. The primary goals of AFIG are to improve Pennsylvania’s air quality and reduce consumption of imported oil by encouraging alternative fuels that will benefit the state’s economy and environment.
DEP accepts applications for innovative, advanced fuel and vehicle technology projects resulting in a cleaner and greener transportation sector.
